Welcome to Zen Cart®

You are seeing this page for one or more reasons

  1. 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).

  2. 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 FAQ and Tutorials area on the Zen Cart® website for assistance.

  3. Additional *IMPORTANT* Details: includes/configure.php file contents invalid. ie: DIR_FS_CATALOG not valid or not set
