In which path do you have the folders: includes, images, admin, etc storedin? From a previous post it sounded like it was in the www directory or it was in the zencart directory off of www: var/www/zencart.

I again recommend putting a simple file into the directory that is being accessed to verify all other things are correct to show the file. Even a php file like:

<?php
Echo "Hello World!";
?>

Preferably, something that has proper html encoding, but

Also, are you trying to access the ZC server from the server itself or from your alternate location?

Thanks for the help between you all and a new set of directions installing LAMP I was able to get it to work basically. What I did was copy the folders to /var/www/html. This is the address I used for the install 192.168.91.141/zc_install but I was given this error. date.timezone is not set in php is this the right direction to go in date.timezone = "Europe/Brussels" obviously I will find out what mine is america/pacific

Thanks Steve

So, you've basically got your first Zen Cart store installed... Now you are dealing with some of the "upgrade" aspects of it. Ideally your php would already have the timezone set in it, but there is a way to do that through ZC. Also. Where to find that part? Well, kinda want to say. Welcome to Zen Cart! :) as several of those that have provided assistance in here would say, school of hard knox is where a lot have gained their experience. Backup, try, break, restore... Repeat until successful. :)

You may also want to search for the main topic of your issue: date.timezone. Even better is if/when you use the letters php with that search (which in this case is related to that problem). Sometimes, unfortunately, one must go outside of the ZC forum to search for a ZC article that relates/has a solution. Not sure why the integrated search isn't as good at finding related information. Anyways... I'm not trying to be a pain in your side. While there are plenty of helpful people on the forum, and it seems you have nearly completed your assignment (or so it seems), hopefully you learn more than the fact that open source rules and there are a lot of knowledgeable people out there that can be quite helpful.

That said, in your installation process, did you return your configure.php files back to using relative paths for all of the directories, or are they all still hard coded? If the later, hope your instructor doesn't say, okay, now I want you to move your store to: xxxx.

Correct all I had to do is get zencart up and running. There is no extra credit. I got that when I built a VM with ARCH. This Linux stuff is finally starting to make sense to me.(kinda) I do have to set up a CRON job for some backups/send it to the instructors ftp server, but that should be an easy step. I already have the script done and working. Now it is just scheduling it. I would be working on it now but I am sitting at the VA hospital to have a nuro stim removed now that the trial is done. It works and I should be able to get off the meds as soon as they can get me in for a permanent instal.

Next step, update the script to use sFTP.

It probably won't give you extra credits but it's a really good habit/practice to get into. :)
