... just an observation, Lankeeyankee... Your signature is an affiliate link to Bluehost (no problem with that) but you suggest that zencart is an easy install with fantastico.

Common wisdom (on this forum) is not to use fantastico to install zencart. Are you perhaps promoting a feature that many people feel is inappropriate advice?

Oh, right. Didn't know that Fantastico is a no-no around these parts. Why is that? This is the first that I have heard of that, although I certainly don't profess to know all about what everyone is saying around here. Is there some type of problem with using Fantastico?? I have used it a number of times and it is always super easy to install and I have never had a problem with the installation. So my personal experience has always been positive, but Hey! I don't know jack!

What am I missing here?

I suspect that Fantastico is the reason we get so many questions on the forum about the most basic stuff, over and over.

Doing a manual installation requires the new Zenner to at least understand the file and directory structure somewhat, and have experience with an FTP client.

Also, not all Fantastico installations have the latest version of Zencart.
