Manual Install Procedure

Hi there

I've been trying to setup Zen Cart but cannot seem to get past the "Save System Setup" step. I've tried numerous 'fixes' but nothing seems to help.

How can I go about doing a manual install i.e. not using the step-by-step install?

what errors are you getting in the save system settings?

Well once I click Save System Settings it timeouts after a while and I get a 404 error.

These are my settings:

Hi NickC

I'm no expert but does your PHP API Mode not have to be set to apache module?

Manual install worked perfectly for me as explained here by Vger(thanks).

You're welcome.
