    Default Zen Cart Not Installing?

    Sorry if this has already been covered but I tried searching with no luck...

    I'm new to Zen Cart and am trying to install it on a server running mySQL 5.0.27.

    I went through the configuration settings and everything seemed to go fine. However, when I clicked to install I got a plain white page with this message:

    1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '-db_cache where cache_entry_name = 'zc_cc87b632a89abd46e00ac8d4a9a78bbb'' at line 1
    in:
    [db_cache table]


    Now everytime I go to my ZC directory, I get this message. Can anyone tell me what this means and, more importantly, how do I fix it? I've tried re-installing several times and get the same thing. Thanks.[/COLOR]

    Confused??? Did you intall it? and then get a blank page?

    Or Initially when entering zc_install do you get a blank page?

    You can't make configuration settings unless you are in the install....

    My mistake, let me clarify...

    Ok, I get into the installer fine and go through everything up until I get to the database settings. My settings are all correct, otherwise the installer gives me an error that it cannot connect.

    Now, once I click on the "Save Database Settings" buttons, is when I'm taken to the error message. Sometimes it shows a Zen Cart banner and says Installation in progress with the error message on the line below it. Other times its just a blank white page with the error message in black.


    The ZC system inspection page shows that my PHP API mode is in CGI. Might that have anything to do with my problem (it's the only thing in the checklist that wasn't green/ok)? If so, how do I fix that?

    Well, nevermind... I figured it out

    In the database settings I took out the prefix for the records and everything went like butter. All this time getting frustrated for something I should've done in the beginning.

    Well thanks for your help anyways. I'm sure I'll need it again!
