Help out a newb!

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.

Dario

Re: Help out a newb!

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

Re: Help out a newb!

/includes and admin/includes are the directory names

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

Re: Help out a newb!

How about renaming them to what Zen Cart complained about?

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

Re: Help out a newb!

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
