jbthomasfl:
OK, so looking back over my installation, it's zen-cart-v1.5.1 (no a). Following the path to installation, it's C://localhost/xampp/zen-cart-v1.5.1. and the renamed files are configure.php, not config.php. Time to give it and me a rest for the night. I look forward for your reply and appreciate the previous one. Sorry to be such a pain.
If you let XAMPP install to its default directory (c:/xampp), then your installation should be made to c:/xampp/htdocs/zen-cart-v1.5.1. That allows you to access your locally-hosted site by putting* localhost/zen-cart-v1.5.1* into your browser's address input.
I usually keep the /includes/configure.php and MY_ADMIN/includes/configure.php files as they exist in my hosted version and use /includes/local/configure.php and MY_ADMIN/includes/local/configure.php to reflect my locally-hosted versions. Just remember to never upload these local versions or you're pretty-much guaranteed to get a Server-500 error!!! Here's the contents of my c:/xampp/htdocs/v1.5.1/includes/local/configure.php file:
