I've just installed Zencart 1.3.8 to a Readyhosting.com Windows 2003 server running php 5.1.2 and MySQL 4.1.22. I also installed Zenmagick to the site. I haven't installed any other mods, and I've been playing around with populating the database.
I'd like to add a couple of other add-ons, but I'm a bit confused about the install routine. Documentation seems to be incomplete on the install process, unless I'm missing something.
In a couple of instances, the install instructions say to Unzip the archive, then FTP it to your server. The challenge is, when I unzip some of the archives, they have the exact folder structure as my existing Zencart folders. If I copy the folder structure from the unzipped archive, it would overwrite the existing structure. The archives don't unzip into their own separate folder, unless I'm doing something wrong.
As I missing something? I've a solid Windows & DOS background, which tells me that I can't unzip or unrar an archive into a similar structure without overwriting the same folder name. Are things different in the *NIX universe? I know files are case-sensitive, but I would expect a similar behavior to DOS.
BTW, I'm using either Windows XP native unzip support, or PowerArchiver.
If anyone can shed light on this issue, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance for your assistance!
