I am on page 37 of the Zen Cart book, wishing to add a couple of lines to the file windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts
I am a windows vista user
My problem is that having added 3 lines of code when I try and save the file I get the following alert message;
"Cannot create the C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts file. Make sure that the path and file name are correct."
Windows suggests a workaround
1.Click Start Start button , click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Notepad, and then click Run as administrator.
2.Open the Hosts file or the Lmhosts file, make the necessary changes, and then click Save on the Edit menu.
This does not work for me. Anyone come accross this using Vista??
How essential is adding the 3 lines of code:
127.0.01 www.myname.com
127.0.01 mail.myname.com
127.0.01 myname to come
to C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts
I ask this as it's in the book (page 37) but not on the online instructions here at this forum?
As usual thanks Zenners.
