    Default 404-Page Not Found error while installing

    I've done everything up to the point where it says,
    "In your browser, enter the URL to your new shop, and the Installer should automatically start.
    Example: http://www.mydomain.com/catalog
    - or - to start the installer directly, use: http://www.mydomain.com/catalog/zc_install"
    In my case the folder on the site is "ZenCart" not "catalog" (because the tutorial said it can be anything right?
    So my url looks like this "http://www.domain.net/zencart". I've tried "/zenncart/zc_install" too but all I get is a 404 error- page not found.
    What am I missing? I even tried moving the zencart folder into the "public_html".

    you "must" have your "zencart" folder inside the public_html area in order for it to be accessible by a browser.

    so, this should work, once you've uploaded the files to the public_html/zencart folder:
    http://yourdomain.com/zencart/zc_install/index.php
    .

    Still getting the 404 error. Actually it a "vDeck error -404 not found"

    "ZenCart" folder is in the public_html folder.

    Just noticed today however, under the "server information setting" in my control panel it says Operating System: FreeBSD 4.11-STABLE.

    So this is not a Windows server???

    I had my zencart folder spelled "ZenCart" not "zencart" (notice the caps).

    What a noob!
