IH2 Installation

[gjh42]

The link given above is to the IH2 support thread in the Zen Cart support forum.

You shouldn't be installing any files in c:\dev\xampp\mysql\data\zencart. That is for your database. The files should go in your /store/ folder under /htdocs/: c"\dev\xampp\thdocs\store.

GJH42 Thanks for your help.
First, I looked at your site -- an awesome job.
Second: You in upstate-- I am in Webster, NY.

third: Back to business. I was much too wordy in my first posts on this subject but the fact is that I did put the files in the Store folder.

Thanks.

I think I found my problem. I substituted the folders that I received from the IH2 download for the ones in C:\dev\xampp\htdocs\Store. I should have taken the folders and placed then in C:\dev\xampp\htdocs\Store to REPALCE the original folders instead of SUBSTITUTING the original folders.

I was confused by the instruction in IH2 readme.txt which said "Copy the following directories into your Zen Cart Folder"

Thanks for all your help.

Yes, copying new folders (with files in them) over existing folders rather than first deleting the original folders will allow any existing files that do not have counterparts in the new folder to stay unchanged.
