I'm having the same problem!

I've installed the changed the setting on all of the files and folders that needed to be changed to 777. I've renamed and changed the settings on the two dist-configure.php files.

When I type in www.arizonahandmadesoap.com/store, I chose #1
This is your first time using Zen Cart™ I got the information about the database and everything was fine. I got to the next page that says "Installation in Progress" and nothing.

When I went back to www.arizonahandmadesoap.com/store, I see that #2 states in part:
Your /includes/configure.php and/or /admin/includes/configure.php file contains invalid path information and/or invalid database-connection information.

What should I do now? I'm really hoping to get this working. The database is there, there are no records of course but its there. Here is the information on my hosting.

Thanks for any suggestion you can give me.
