In order for many Zen Cart™ administrative and day-to-day functions to work properly, You need to mark several files/folders "Writeable". The following is a list of folders which need to be "read-write", along with recommended CHMOD settings. Please correct these settings before continuing installation. Refresh this page in your browser to re-check settings.

Some hosts may not allow you to set CHMOD 777, but only 666. Start with the higher setting first, and switch to lower values if required.

AFTAR clinck SaveSystem Settings

I get page deos not exist!

1. Try renaming the /zc_install/.htaccess to htaccess_OFF and try again.

2. What does your localhost apache errorlog say about this error?

[gmli]

thank you for reply Drbyte.
My Apache says:

[error] [client 127.0.0.1] mod_security: Access denied with code 500. Pattern match "\\\\.php(3|4|5)?(\\\\?|&).*=(ht|f)tps?:/.*(\\\\?|&)" at REQUEST_URI [severity "EMERGENCY"] [hostname "localhost"] [uri "/cart/zc_install/index.php?main_page=phpbb_setup&language=english&physical_path=C:/www/webroot/cart&virtual_http_path=http://localhost/cart&virtual_https_path=https://localhost/cart&virtual_https_server=https://localhost&enable_ssl=false&enable_ssl_admin=false&sql_cache=C:/www/webroot/cart/cache&is_upgrade="]

that is that mean? do you know?

thanks,
Gary

That means your server's got the mod_security filter installed and protecting against the use of HTTP: or HTTPS: as extra parameters in the browser URL (because those can commonly be used for spoofing/hacking etc).

If you use the supplied zc_install/.htaccess file, it should override the mod_security filter during installation. If it won't, then you may need to talk to the server administrator to allow the option of disabling it temporarily.

thanks. I am the administrator and I installed Apach. but it was working before.

I fine this after restart Apach.

That suggests that the install hasn't completed properly ... either files are missing from the /includes/classes folder or the configure.php files haven't been written properly by the zc_install

Hi DrByte,
It apears that the problem caused was the "Save System Settings" was not working.

I have compared the old installation with the new installation. the difference is that the Apache 2.2 has mod_security provent the patten .php? ttps: to be requested.

therefore the request cannot be processed.

Yes, that is correct ... and is why the supplied zc_install/.htaccess contains these lines to deactivate mod_security if it's turned on:

<IfModule mod_security.c>
    SecFilterEngine Off
    SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>

Perhaps your configuration doesn't work with the <IfModule statement? Or maybe your mod_security configuration doesn't allow the use of these overrides in .htaccess ?
