You are seeing this page for one or more reasons
-
This is your first time using Zen Cart® and you have not yet completed the normal installation procedures.
If this is the case for you, you will need to upload the "zc_install" folder using your FTP program, and then run zc_install/index.php via your browser (or reload this page to see a link to it).
-
This is not your first time using Zen Cart® and you have previously completed the normal installation procedures.
If this is the case for you, then...
-
Your /includes/configure.php and/or /admin/includes/configure.php files contain invalid path information and/or invalid database-connection information.
-
If you recently edited your configure.php files for any reason, or perhaps moved your site to a different folder or different server, then you will 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 perhaps they are too low for the files to be read.
-
Or the configure.php files could be missing altogether.
-
Or your web hosting provider has recently changed the server's PHP configuration (or upgraded its version) then they may have broken things as well.
- See the Online Documentation area on the Zen Cart® website for assistance.
-
Your /includes/configure.php and/or /admin/includes/configure.php files contain invalid path information and/or invalid database-connection information.
- Additional *IMPORTANT* Details: includes/configure.php file empty or file not found, OR wrong DB_TYPE set, OR cannot find includes/autoload_func.php which suggests paths are wrong or files were not uploaded correctly
