Hello

I have tried running the follwing URLs in the browser to install ZenCart like it states in the instructions:

http://www.blushfashions.co.uk/catalog

http://www.blushfashions.co.uk/catalog/zc_install

I dont get the welcome page or the directory list:

CAN ANYBODY HELP? Yours Blush Fashions

just to make sure, you did upload the the files and folders into the directory catalog?

when you open the directory catalog you should see
admin/
images/
includes/

and so forth

yes i unzipped all the files and ftp them to my site, all the files are uploaded into the directory called catalog

also i can't list a direcory in the browser becauuse it states im not allowed:

Maybe the web host has secured something i dont know and the said that PHP files are allowed and recognised.

Do you have a public_html or www or htdocs or httpdocs folder on your server?
Is your "catalog" folder inside that folder? If not, move it there.

Also, does adding /index.php to your URL's help?

Hello

I think I know where I've gone wrong all my template files are in my domain and I placed the zencart there. I don't have a public_html folder it's called htdocs.:blush:

Hello Gents

Following the install intructions I managed to:

Creating the configure.php files
Set Permissions on folders

Then I managed to get the installer running in the browser and got a setup inspection. However when I clisked on the install button I got this error:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/fhlinux189/b/blushfashions.co.uk/user/htdocs/catalog/zc_install/includes/modules/pages/inspect/header_php.php on line 251

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/fhlinux189/b/blushfashions.co.uk/user/htdocs/catalog/zc_install/includes/modules/pages/inspect/header_php.php:251) in /home/fhlinux189/b/blushfashions.co.uk/user/htdocs/catalog/zc_install/includes/modules/pages/inspect/header_php.php on line 449

Anybody got any ideas??

Hm also in the inspacion this was in red:

PHP Session.Save_Path = /home/phpsessions -->Unwriteable Click here for more info
PHP sendmail 'from' = [email protected]
PHP sendmail path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i
PHP SMTP destination = localhost

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/fhlinux189/b/blushfashions.co.uk/user/htdocs/catalog/zc_install/includes/modules/pages/inspect/header_php.php on line 251

This error was last encountered with Zen-Cart v1.3.0. Did you downloaded the latest version of Zen-Cart ? (v.1.3.0.2) ?

PHP Session.Save_Path = /home/phpsessions -->Unwriteable Click here for more info

Was this folder put under full writting (CHMOD 755 / 777) as well ?

Hello TheOracle

I downloaded v1.3.0.0 and asked if I needed the patches v1.3.0.1 and v1.3.0.2 and they said no. However I see my mistake and will delete the old version in ftp and try again with the latest version.

Many thanks for your help.:thumbsup:

Hi this is my first time, I do not know how to start a thread. Been searching a New Thread button but no luck Please help.

When you're in a forum topic, look just below the title of the forum topic on the upper left hand side... you'll see the "new thread" silver oval button just below in an empty space directly opposite the page count on the right side. There is also a "new thread" button in the same area, but directly on the bottom border of the forum topics. Basically, it's where the "reply" button is situated, when you added your inquiry to this topic thread.

Thank you very much, hope to post new threads so I can learn Zencart much better. :smile:

You're welcome.

Thanks Sketch, God bless.:yes:

You're very welcome.

Your quest will become easier as you begin to get the hang of things. I can't believe I just typed "the hang of things", what does that exactly mean?? I couldn't find any information, regarding that saying, in the Wikipedia. :laugh:=:wacko:
