First time Install OS X

Well I have downloaded xammp and unzipped zencart into the htdoc folder.
WHen I goto the locahost folder in browser I get the first screen of zen cart. I click continue and then hit yes to agree to GNU terms. On the next screen all I get is this error

Deprecated: Function set_magic_quotes_runtime() is deprecated in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/rocky/zc_install/includes/application_top.php on line 22

Please let me know what I am doing wrong

Re: First time Install OS X

Zen Cart v1.3.8a is not compatible with PHP 5.3.0 and newer.
You'll need to use PHP 5.2.x instead ... which might mean you need an older version of XAMPP or optionally MAMP.

A new version of Zen Cart will be released soon for PHP 5.3 compatibility.

Yeah, try using mamp - http://www.mamp.info
such a wounderful osx web server.

the latest mamp version is running php 5.2.10 or optionally 4.4.9.

I'm on mamp with 5.2.6 and I've never had a single problem testing zen cart locally. running lepard...

Re: First time Install OS X

I am interested in knowing about this PHP issue. Is it really important what version you use? The box I am doing this on is running Leopard. I should find out what my host requires.

Re: First time Install OS X

Zen Cart v1.3.8a will work with PHP 4.3.x through 5.2.x.
I recommend 5.2.x.
