Is someone attempting to destroy the free & honorable Zen Cart ?
I just Download the Version 1.5O from ZenCart.com
(and just so you know the details: i did not click on the small link (that was underlined) that said something about getting the "latest version" and which was located right above the regular 1.50 version link....ie: I clicked on the "main" link not the underlined words link because both had the same date)
Then I uploaded the entire package (all files & folders) to my web hosting company... and after it was all uploaded I went to my Hosting Co. (intending to follow the install directions to adjust the file configuration) but I did not get a chance to do anything because in my "File Manager" (where I edit the files at my Hosting Co), NONE of my files would show up ! NONE !
I have over 12 Domain Folders with index pages and 5 websites (made with Dreamweaver and one with ZenCart) and NONE of these Folders or files showed up (ie: the entire File Manager page was empty)
I tried to log in and out several times with using all the Browsers: Google Chrome, Modzilla and Internet Explorer... but still NO SHOW !
I then went to FileZilla to see if I could download the file to configure it...but...even FileZilla came up with a BLANK page...all of my Folders of all of my Domain Names were gone....blank !
So, I called my Hosting Co. and they said they could see all of my files & folders when they did it and everything was working fine. BUT I still could not see any folders or any files from any of my Domain Names.
Strange thing is: My Web Hosting Co, (ever since it changed hands from a Canadian Company to one based in Boston) just stopped having ZenCart as an option that the Company used to install for the Customers. In fact Zen Cart is no longer listed in the list of choices to use. Instead they provide: A few other misc shopping carts that you have to "pay for "parts" along the way to building your site. Hmmmmmm
Do you think this is the future of Web Hosting ? in the future the "parts" will wear out and "they" will all make more continuous flow of $$$ as everyone has to pay for "upgrades" of parts & services.
Sooner than we know it, a "free made" "self made" ZenCart website like mine might not even have a place to be hosted in the land of the free.
What do you think ?
Is this problem a result of a Zen Cart Hacker or is it just an indication of what is to come?
