Hello,

Just installed zencart and am trying to take some first steps at customization. I just wanted to do something simple, like changing the "Congratulations! you have successfully installed..." message and I read the FAQ on that subject, as well as a tutorial that said essentially the same thing.

Per the instructions, I copied the index.php file from the includes/languages/english directory to my local system and made some text changes to the specified lines. I then created a new directory, includes/languages/english/custom_1, uploaded the changed file (in ascii mode) to it and made sure that the permissions were at 755.

But zencart will not read the file in my custom_1 directory. It reads the file in includes/languages/english/. If I copy my file to includes/languages/english/classic, it will be read from there. There's obviously something I'm misinterpreting about the FAQ answer, because several other questions are worded similarly, and I can't get them to work either.

I'd appreciate someone pointing me in the right direction!

Thanks,
Chuck
