Hi

How did you install your copy of ZC, manual upload via ftp or Fantastico?

Re: hi i'm a noob...need noobie help

are you using chrome?

Lots of SSL sites look jacked up in chrome lately.
Not saying that is the way it should look or does normally under chrome, but have you tried another browser?

Dreamhost should really be called Nightmare-host. They are not really very good at eCommerce hosting, so if you get a chance, you should move to a proper host. eCommerce is sophisticated stuff, and these "cheap and nasty" web hosts are just not geared to handle it properly.

Secondly, you should NEVER EVER use these "one-click" installs for eCommerce. There is usually a lot of stuff that needs proper configuration DURING the install, so you would be better off DELETING that installation, and doing it MANUALLY as is recommended.

But before you do any of this, move to a proper host. You will spend your life in tears with "Dream"-host.
