another configure.php

This is the exact error, looks like the zencart install already accessed the file. It can't verify. I already tried deleted the entire zen cart and reuploading it.

While attempting to save your settings, Zen Cart™ Installer was unable to verify successful writing of your configure.php file settings. Please check to be sure that your webserver has full write permissions to the configure.php files shown below.

- /includes/configure.php
- /admin/includes/configure.php

I apologize - I am sorry - you are correct, the information I provided allows you to RESET the permissions. I am wrong.

However I do not understand your configure.php file - it shows this path for your catalog:
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/content/t/i/d/tidusdesign/html/');

and above that is another the http path is:
define DIR_WS_CATALOG, '/';
am I confused about the location of your 'catalog?'


For my site it looks like this:
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', 'e:/web/public_html/mysite/store/');
and the http path is:
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/store/');

NOTE: store is the name of my 'catalog'.

SUMMARY
I apologize for the wrong chmod info... however; it looks like the path to configure is incorrect - the 'local path' does not match the 'virtual path' - and I am out of my league (smile).

Respectfully,
jund

I have the entire zencart directory in my root directory instead of in a folder like catalog. Thats what my zencart template instructions told me to do. Do I have to upload the zencart files into a folder, or can they reside in the root directory?
That /home/content/t/i/d/tidusdesign/html/ points to my home directory on the server. The zencart files reside right in the home directory. The define DIR_WS_CATALOG, '/'; represents the home directory with a / I assume?

Root install is fully acceptable (what I prefer), your config entries look correct for a web root install

[tidusStylez]

Is there any way disable this part of the script kinda like when you disable the part when it gives you the warning that you can write to the config files.

I feel like an idiot. Anyone using Godaddy can have them setup the entire Zen Cart for you using metropolis (hostingmetropolis.com/). They use wierd settings for the config file. Now to deal with templatemonster problems =/ Thanks for the replies though.

Sorry to hear that you might have purchased this as a template...

Yes, you can place Zen Cart in the root - that shouldn't be a problem at all.

Are you up and running yet?

I was looking at your configure.php file (copied below)

// Define the webserver and path parameters
// HTTP_SERVER is your Main webserver: eg, http://www.yourdomain.com
// HTTPS_SERVER is your Secure webserver: eg, https://www.yourdomain.com
define('http://www.personalcareunlimited.com', 'http://www.personalcareunlimited.com');
define('https://www.personalcareunlimited.com', 'https://www.personalcareunlimited.com');

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

QUESTIONS:
Why are there two entries on each of the define lines here?
define('http://www.personalcareunlimited.com', 'http://www.personalcareunlimited.com');

and here
define('https://www.personalcareunlimited.com', 'https://www.personalcareunlimited.com');


Mine have always had only one per line (example below of recent install):
// Define the webserver and path parameters
// HTTP_SERVER is your Main webserver: eg, http://www.yourdomain.com
// HTTPS_SERVER is your Secure webserver: eg, https://www.yourdomain.com
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://jundwebs.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://jundwebs.com');

Hope you have solved it...
