Loading version 1.3.9e onto local XAMPP - nothing happens at installation

Got new database set up - got the "Hello. Thank you for loading Zen Cart™.

click on the installation links and get a blank page.

Any ideas?

Hi this may help you with your answer to me.

I might be running an older version of PHP on my local comp.

What Version should I now be using? I guess the same thing goes for my server - thanks.

This may also help - in this post:

I saw "copy your downloaded and extracted files to /xampp/htdocs/zen/"

I put my files into htdocs/mystore < does it make a difference? Can't check currently - I'm at work

Ok have tried for last 2 hours and have tried everything I can think of - have gone in looked at the code for my configure files - yes have renamed the to just configure - got rid of the dist- part looked to see if I have the paths right - they seem to be ok but no luck I press the install link and get nothing but a blank page - I have an empty data base called store set up using:

Welcome to XAMPP for Windows Version 1.4.16

and

Welcome to phpMyAdmin 2.6.4-pl1
MySQL 4.1.14-nt running on localhost as root@localhost

Try this ... change the file:
/zc_install/application_top.php

and change the code to read:

 * Timezone detection
 */
if (PHP_VERSION >= '5.3' && ini_get('date.timezone') == '')
{
  die('ERROR: date.timezone not set in php.ini. Please contact your hosting company to set the timezone in the server PHP configuration before continuing.');
} elseif (PHP_VERSION >= '5.1') {
  $baseTZ = date_default_timezone_get();
  date_default_timezone_set($baseTZ);
  unset($baseTZ);
}

/*
 * check settings for, and then turn off magic-quotes support, for both runtime and sybase, as both will cause problems if enabled

Does that allow your installer to work? :unsure:

DUDE I LOVE YOU!!:hug::clap::clap::clap:

it worked and I'm up and running - thanks a lot :-)

You are most welcome ... thanks for the update that this worked for you on the Zen Cart Installer for v1.3.9e when the page came up as a blank white page ... :smile:
