XAMPP 1.7.2 & Zen-Cart 1.3.8 problem

I'm attempting to set up a localhost on a Windows XP system using XAMP 1.7.2 and zen-cart 1.3.8. Everything goes as expected until I try to go to the home page of the store from the last page of the instal. I get a while page. If I try and go to the Admin page I get a long list of PHP errors. I followed the directions found in chapter 2 of e-Start....

Does anyone have any idea what is happening?

Re: XAMPP 1.7.2 & Zen-Cart 1.3.8 problem

Hi,
Xampp 1.72 uses PHP 5.3.

At this moment in time some parts of the Zen Cart 1.38a code is not compatible with PHP 5.3.
Either you can use Xampp 1.71 which uses an earlier version of PHP
http://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/files/

or apply the 5.3 patch

If you are SURE the install has gone ok, try the patch, otherwise use the older Xampp and install again.

Good luck
Steve
