Help out a newb!

[belaze]

Hello everyone,
I am trying to install Zen Cart on my site hosted by Godaddy, so far I uploaded the complete Zen Cart folder via ftp using Filezilla ftp.
I go to http://{www.mydomain.com}/zc_install/ and read the term and conditions, agree to them but whe the installer does a system inspection it finds the following three problems:

• /admin/includes/configure.php does not exist more info...
• /includes/configure.php file does not exist more info...
• PHP Session Support is required more info...

Not sure if I am even in the right path but I am trying to create a file name /admin/includes/configure.php using Notepad++ but it tells me its an invalid name.
Any little bit of info will be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance for the help.

If you look at the expanded files on your PC, in these locations you will see dist-configure.php files...connect to your server with FTP and rename these in the same locations and set the permissions to 777 and continue:

/includes
/admin/includes

Thank you for your response Kobra.
No offense Kobra but if someone knows of a tutorial link can you please post it.
I just don't get
/includes
/admin/includes

I did find dist-configure.php file but what am I suppose to rename it to.
Thanks for your help

/includes and admin/includes are the directory names

rename both dist-configure.php to configure.php in both of the above directories.

How about renaming them to what Zen Cart complained about?

# /admin/includes/configure.php does not exist
# /includes/configure.php file does not exist

Hello,
Thanks for the info KoBra & barco57, it was very helpful.
The reason I was having so much problems was because I was using a Windows server. I called my hosting provider and had them switch it to a Linux server and my problems were pretty much solved, everything else went like a walk in the park. The only thing I had to do was created MySQL database and that was it.
Thanks again
Dario
