white screen in XAMPP install

[raimond]

Hello,

I want to install ZC 1.3.8 (clean-install), but when i try to install it, I get a whitescreen afteer phpbb-settings. I don't use forum in this shop.
So I have to re-install it again and same thing happens again and again....looping

What is the problem with this 1.3.8?

You may be missing a file in the right location, take a look at the diagram inside the zip zen cart and ensure that all your files are install to the right directories. It's really easy to move files by accident while using a ftp programme. I've done it before

After phpbb settings, it tries to save all your information to the configure.php files.

Can you post a link to your zc_install folder?
I'm mostly interested in your server specs and to look at your phpinfo details.

It is on my own desktop...I deleted the whole directory and unzipped the zc138 again and again...but same problem everytime.

I repaired the configures myself and created users into the db myself...So the store works, but this isn't the right way.

In both configure.php the end tag

?>

was missing

That's normal, and entirely okay.

That's normal, and entirely okay.

It is normal when the installation is interupted....but the file start with

<?php

and has to end with

?>

that's normal.

After editing this file the shop works. The file must have a starting and ending tag.

But the problem is that I can't finish the installation and I have to setup the end manually

No, actually, it's perfectly acceptable to *not* have a closing ?> at the end of PHP files.
In fact, we left it off intentionally.

I'm not sure what about your XAMPP setup is causing the problem you mentioned.

In your /cache folder there is likely a zc_install log file. Can you please post it here?

of course

Just a note on the why ?> has been removed from some files.

This is an ongoing process that will continue into v1.4.

As some people will know, if u include a php file and there is whitespace after the final ?> then it can cause problems, usually the dreaded
headers already sent error.

Removing the ?> from php files is a way of mitigating against this error. php will quite happily work without it, and now any whitespace at the end of the file will not cause errors.
