The cPanel password is totally different from any DB password and Zencart Password. You shouldn't be needing to change that.
Good on ya!
Although this is fine, perfectly acceptable, and even recommended, as a general rule it is not something you would need to so to install zencart. The reason being as that every Cpanel installation that I've seen to date also sets up a defualt FTP account for the cPanel user (using the exact same login details).
The act of creating a secondary FTP account (as you have done) is *good* because such accounts typically have a *different* username and password than the one you use for cPanel. This improves your site security quite considerably (but only if you DO use a different username/password).
Unfortunately, this is where you went astray. This should be the filepath of where you wish to store your zencart files.
Typically this would be "/home/blahblah/public_html" (if you are making your store you 'main' site (recommended), or "/home/blahblah/public_html/store/" if you wish your store to be located in a subfolder (not needed/recommended for most users).
Note: the path is almost always going to contain "/public_html/" rather than "/public_htm/"
Yes, using the data that you provided that is exactly where your files will end up. This is *probably* NOT what you want.
Placed in this location for people to find your store the URL will end up being
http://yourdomain.com/julia/ZenCart/
If you upload the files to home/jagr4292/public_html/ they'll be able to access your store with just your domain name.
No comment (not enough info)
If you've uploaded your files to /home/jagr4292/public_htm/julia/ZenCart then the zc_install will be found at
www.abc.com/julia/ZenCart/zc_install
In other words, you are at least one folder too deep. You will need to edit the FTP user account that you created in order to upload to the higher level folders.
Another option would be to use your cPanel login details with Filezilla, which will actually log you in to the site one level higher up than you need to be (IOW, it will log you into the /home/jagr4292/ folder, where you'll see lots of files (that you don't really need to know about) except the one called "public_html" or "www" (both of these will go to the same place). Within this folder you'll then see you 'julia' folder, and within that folder you'll see the filder called 'ZenCart' that you previously uploaded. It is the files in this folder that need to be moved 'up' to the 'public_html' folder. You can do this 'move' with filezilla itself (just drag and drop), or, you can delete this folder and the julia folder and do a complete new upload into the /public_html/ folder. I suggest the 'move' method because it is a LOT quicker and will save your bandwidth.
Thing will be correct when you see a file stucture looking like
/public_html/admin/
/public_html/includes/
/public_html/zc_install/
etc, etc, etc
Don't panic if you 'mess things up' You can always delete anything in /public_html/ and start again. DO NOT delete /public_html/ itself.
Hopefully this will get you on the right path.
