    Default 403 Forbidden error on install - 1.2.7d

    Hi,

    I'm trying to install Zen-Cart behind Gallery2 but I keep coming up against a dreaded 403 during the install process.

    I need to use 1.2.7d because Gallery2's module hasn't been upgraded to the 1.3.x versions of Zen-Cart.

    The exact error is:

    Forbidden
    You don't have permission to access /cart/zc_install/index.php on this server.

    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Apache/1.3.36 Server at www.trekviews.com Port 80
    It occurs just after clicking the 'Save System Settings' button on the System Setup Page. I don't have SSL so have both SSL settings set to 'No'.

    The page address looks incomplete. It is:

    http://www.trekviews.com/cart/zc_ins...he&is_upgrade=

    Hope someone can shed some light.

    grab the /zc_install/.htaccess file from the v1.3.5 zip and add it to your /zc_install folder
    This should work around the mod_security limitations which your host likely has installed.
