Can't get zc_install to start

[jfuller]

I am having a similar issue with the installer. I've followed the installation steps and got to the "Starting the Installer" section where I put in my domain to start the installer. It doesn't go to the welcome to Zen Cart page and instead shows an instantpage from Go Daddy.

These are the URLs I tried using to start the installer: rayofbeauty.com/zc_install, www.rayofbeauty.com/zc_install, http://www.rayofbeauty.com/zc_install

Would someone PLEASE point me in the right direction as to where I may have caused an error?

Thanks in advance!

Two things:

1. If you used any auto-installer from GoDaddy, you should start over completely by downloading the latest ZC and installing it according to the instructions in the docs folder.
2. GoDaddy is not a recommended choice for ZC hosting. Granted, they are getting better however I still feel the costs incurred "down the road" to fix their shortcomings would more than pay for a qualified host.

What folder did you upload the unzipped Zen Cart files to on your server?

[jfuller]

I think it's called the root folder (I want my store site to be www.domain.com, not something like www.domain.com/store)

You can handle that by having code like this in your index.php file in your root directory:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
window.location = "http://www.mysitename.com/zc_subdirname"
//-->
</script>

When you go to www.mysitename.com it will instead to the to zen cart code in the named subdirectory.

I don't think Ted understood the question, because he gave an unrelated answer.

Nevertheless, it looks like the rayofbeauty site is working correctly now.
