fantastico installation using IP

I am installing zen cart using Fantastico, and it is using the domain name. However, I need to intall it using the IP address since the domain is not active yet. How to I override Fantasico's requirement to list the domain name?

thanks,

Scott Powell

dump the fantastico install, ( its crap )
and download a full version using thr DL link ,
upload the files and run the installer

i am having the same problem, have to use fantastico thru lunarpages. i need to build the website to my new IP and tweek it before changing the dns. zen cart wants to use my website name to find the admin, i need it to look for the new IP instead. installing zen cart seperately is not an option. any help?

set the IP address in your 2 configure.php files:

• /includes/configure.php
• /admin/includes/configure.php

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://111.222.111.222');

Should do it for all the HTTP_XXXXX_SERVER settings.
Note that both configure.php files are somewhat different to each other, so should be treated separately.

thanks drbyte, that worked, the ADMIN can be found at:

http://YOUR.IP/admin/admin.php

however i am getting a warning at the top of my index.php page:

Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /home/passi13/public_html/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file (read-only, CHMOD 644 or 444 are typical).

the settings were at 644 when viewed thru the FTP. i reset them to 644 and still the warning, any thoughts?

thanks!!!
