I am new to Zen Cart and installing ZC on my local cpmputer first and think I am ready to install IH2. However, the readme.txt for this product are a little vague and I have some questions. I know IH2 has been used quite often by zenners so most of my problems/questions are my own doing.

My host, HostMonster. say they support both CD libraries and ImageMagick when I am ready to move the program to the remote server.

QUESTIONS:

1. To find out if you have cg libraries the the readme.txt in IH2 says to go to admin>tools>server info and search of "CD". Not sure how you do a search on this screen.
1a. Is CD libraries included in the PHP part of the Xampp installation?
2. I am partial to IH2 because it seems to be more support for this product on the Zen Cart forum. Are there any major advantages between CG libraries and Imagemagick?
3. In the readme.txt of IM2, it says to copy the following directories into "your Zen Card folder" which I believe is at c:\dev\xampp\mysql\data\zencart. However, I assume the following folders are meant to replace the same named folders which I found in c"\dev\xampp\thdocs\store so I installed them in the store folder.
Admin
bm/.cache
Images
includes

I am following the Zen Cart manual and don't remember making any changes to these folders.

Now, when I click on the ZC admin shortcut I am receiving a URL not found error message. If I reinstall old folder I am fine.

I wonder what is causing that.

4. How do I make sure the permissions of the bm/.cache folder is the same as the images folder as suggested in the readme.txt of IH2.

Thanks for any help.
