trying to follow "steps to secure Zencart"

[Penrod]

I have followed all but one of the steps suggested in the article "Steps in securing your Zen Cart Store". The article says to delete the /zc_install folder. The only thing I can locate is a file that is listed as: tpl_zc_install_suggested_default.php

Is this the right thing to delete? It seems to me to be a "file" not a "folder". If is makes any difference, I have version 1.3.8, perhaps this version automatically deletes the folder? Or is it hidden somewhere?

Other than this, I have to my knowledge followed all the steps. Thanks for any help.

You had to upload the "zc_install" dir. in order to install/upgrade Zen Cart.

What did you do with it????

Commonly found here: http://yourdomain.com/zc_install
You'll know it's gone if you go to your Zen Cart site and no Red Error appears at the top of the page.

Rob is correct.
I would add that some hosts who offer a one-click-install of Zen Cart do not give you the zc_install folder once the install is done ... thus you don't need to delete it either.

However, when you do your first site upgrade, you'll need to get familiar with the zc_install folder/files since they will be used to do the database portion of your upgrade. Something to look forward to

Well I must have deleted it, because I don't see it on my server in the root directory. Perhaps that was/is part of the new install instructions? I've been through so much configuring and learning about Zen Cart, I could have easily done it and forgot.
