hi, first post here and thanks in advance for any reply.

i'm setting up zencart on my local computer for a test. i'm using Apache2 server, PHP5 and MySQL5 on my windows xp system.

couple of question:
Code:
On the server locate the file: /catalog/includes/dist-configure.php 
Rename this file to configure.php and change the permissions to 777 (read-write-execute for all)
do i need to change the permissions on my local computer to run the zencart? if so, how do i change it? is it something in the dist-configure.php file?

another question is: do i have to use PHP4 instead of PHP5 for the zencart run smoothly?

thanks!
