403 Forbidden error on install - 1.2.7d

Hi,

I'm trying to install Zen-Cart behind Gallery2 but I keep coming up against a dreaded 403 during the install process.

I need to use 1.2.7d because Gallery2's module hasn't been upgraded to the 1.3.x versions of Zen-Cart.

The exact error is:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /cart/zc_install/index.php on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Apache/1.3.36 Server at https://www.trekviews.com Port 80

It occurs just after clicking the 'Save System Settings' button on the System Setup Page. I don't have SSL so have both SSL settings set to 'No'.

The page address looks incomplete. It is:

http://www.trekviews.com/cart/zc_install/index.php?main_page=phpbb_setup&language=english&physical_path=/home/trekview/public_html/cart&virtual_http_path=http://www.trekviews.com/cart&virtual_https_path=&virtual_https_server=&enable_ssl=false&enable_ssl_admin=false&sql_cache=/home/trekview/public_html/cart/cache&is_upgrade=

Hope someone can shed some light.

Re: 403 Forbidden error on install - 1.2.7d

grab the /zc_install/.htaccess file from the v1.3.5 zip and add it to your /zc_install folder
This should work around the mod_security limitations which your host likely has installed.
