You are seeing this page for one or more reasons:

This is your first time using Zen Cart® and you haven't yet completed the normal Installation procedure.
If this is the case for you, Click here to begin installation.

Your /includes/configure.php and/or /admin/includes/configure.php file contains invalid path information and/or invalid database-connection information.
If you recently edited your configure.php files for any reason, or maybe moved your site to a different folder or different server, then you'll need to review and update all your settings to the correct values for your server.
Additionally, if the permissions have been changed on your configure.php files, then maybe they're too low for the files to be read.
Or the configure.php files could be missing altogether.
Or your hosting company has recently changed the server's PHP configuration (or upgraded its version) then they may have broken things as well.
See the Online FAQ and Tutorials area on the Zen Cart® website for assistance.

Re: White page with zc_install

What are the contents of your includes/configure.php file (without database credentials)? Above said renamed configure.php, what do you mean by that? There is no renaming of the file itself...

The dist-configure.php file is provided as a reference about the contents expected in a configure.php file.

If this is your first time installing ZC, may I suggest the following reference, and also to expedite things from this point to rename the current includes/configure.php file back to dist-configure.php and run zc_install to have the system create the file for you.

If the connection to the database is failing, then you supplied an invalid combination of database name, username, password.

Olaf:

If you didn't assign that user all permissions to the database, then it won't be able to connect, even if you give the right username+password.

That occurs when zc_install opens the System Inspection page, and is a result of the system testing whether your server properly respects some security rules which are supposed to deny access to that file (and other files in that folder).
In short: you can ignore that one. It's fine, and is expected as part of running zc_install.
