When I go to install Zen Cart I get a red X next to Server Free Disk Space, which says there is 0.44 Gb. Apparently that is not enough. But I can't find anywhere in the documentation or on the support board indicating how much is required. Does anyone know?
Thank you!

Re: Amount of required server free disk space?
The red X will appear if there is less than 1 GB of free space on the server.
This is intended to warn you that you're in a potentially limited situation.
Zen Cart will operate quite happily with
- 15 MB of disk space for PHP files
- PLUS however much space your product images consume
- PLUS however much data you enter into your online store's database.
(The database starts at about 500 to 1000 MB depending on whether you install the demo products.)
So, the 400 MB you're reporting ... is a bit limiting if it includes database disk space. If database space is calculated separately, you should have no problem.
Zen Cart cannot determine whether database space is included in the reported "disk space" results. It simply raises the flag if there's a potential risk of surprises in this area..

Re: Amount of required server free disk space?
I just checked at my site - the database is reported at 3.1 MB. Very few products, but it makes me wonder about your figure of 500 - 1000

Re: Amount of required server free disk space?
Go into phpMyAdmin and see what's using up all that space. Also, how large are your images?
