Apple Zen Support Thread

[greggpow]

I'm sorry, this is probably a really simple question, but for the life of me I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

I downloaded AppleZen and know I'm supposed to upload the "includes" folder to my public_html folder and miraculously the files are supposed to appear where they should be and then I can go into Admin and choose AppleZen from my template choices.

I must be doing something wrong as AppleZen does not appear as one of my template choices in admin after I upload the "includes" folder.

This is what I've been doing step by step, I'm hoping someone will correct my mistake.

1. After I download AppleZen I have a folder called "AppleZen" that sits on my PC.

inside this "AppleZen" folder are four items (two folders and two files). One of the folder is "includes".

2. I assume that the aforementioned "includes" file is the one that I need to upload so I copy just that folder and it's contents to my web site's root directory on my local machine.

3. Using Dreamweaver I take that "includes" folder and copy it to the main "/" folder on my remote server.

What am I doing wrong?

I don't see a public_html folder on my hosting server, is it the same as the "/"?

Should I not have removed the "includes" folder from the "AppleZen" folder in the beginning?

Should I be copying the "includes" folder to the "zencart/includes/templates/" folder instead?

Any help would be much appreciated, I've been trying to install this thing for three hours and I'm at my wits end.

The includes folder goes into the root of your store, whatever that is. If you have your store at:

http://www.mysite.com/store

then the includes folder would go in /store

if you have your store at http://www.mysite.com, then your includes folder goes in the public_html folder. It goes in the same level that you have

admin
cache
docs
download
editors
email
extras
images
includes <-- it goes here
media
pub


Now, after uploading, make sure by looking at the remote site, that everything did indeed upload into the right spot. Also, if includes/templates/apple_zen/template_info.php didn't get uploaded, the template won't show in the admin.
