- When I start the v1.5.3 installer (http://mydomain.com/ZEN153/zc_install/index.php, the next screen is blank, white, view source is empty.
- IF I use the v1.5.1 installer, things progress through a typical install but I did not expect to end up with a functional v1.5.3 installation.
http://mydomain.com/ZEN153/ does display the "Hello. Thank you for loading Zen-cart" screen. System setup required.
I spent the better part of yesterday uploading the fileset several times and verifying folder/path permissions. Surely someone will be able to point out my shortcomings.
Steps:
Download v1.5.3 zip and verify hash
Unzip v1.5.3
ftp complete set of files to the mydomain.com/ZEN153/
rename /ZEN153/includes/dist-configure.php & verify permission 777
rename/ZEN153/admin/includes/dist-configure.php & verify permission 777
change permissions of folders to 777
create new, empty database zen153
enter http://mydomain.com/ZEN153/zc_install/index.php
blank screen
Delete contents of /ZEN153 folder and start over:
Repeat above from my notes
Same result
Delete contents of /ZEN153 folder.
Upload v1.5.3 zipped file to server.
Unzip v1.5.3 on server to folder /ZEN153
Repeat install steps. Same result.
For the heck of it:
Make no changes to files/folders except rename zc_install folder to 1zc_install
FTP v1.5.1 zc_install folder to server folder /ZEN153
Start installer:
http://mydomain.com/ZEN153/zc_install/index.php
Installation begins & progresses through all steps but doesn't yield a fully functional v1.5.3 install but I didn't expect that either.
There is a functional v1.5.1 installation in the domain root.
Apache 2.2.27
php: 5.3.28
MySQL: 5.5.37
