Zen Cart® v2.1.0-dev

- PHP 8.0 to PHP 8.4
- MySQL 5.7.8+ or MariaDB 10.2.7+
- Apache 2.4
Refer to compatibility requirements for additional details.
Installation
Installation is simple:
- Download Zen Cart
- Ensure you check that the md5/sha1 hash of the Zip matches those publicly posted.
- The sha1 values for verifying the zip files hosted at Github are displayed on the Zen Cart® website along with instructions on how to verify the file using the hash values.
- Unzip the downloaded zip file
- Everything inside the folder you unzipped needs to be uploaded to your webserver … for example, into your
public_html
orwww
orhtml
folder (the folder will already exist on your webserver) - In your browser, enter the address to your site, such as:
www.example.com
(or if you uploaded it into another subdirectory such asfoldername
usewww.example.com/foldername
) - Rename the
/includes/dist-configure.php
and/admin/includes/dist-configure.php
files to "configure.php
" and make the files writable (so the install process can write your configuration information into them after you answer a few questions in the following steps). - Also make the
/cache
and/logs
folders writable. (You will be prompted about making other folders writable during installation) - Follow the instructions that appear in your browser for installation.
If some of the terms used in these brief instructions are things you don't understand, there is a much more detailed set of instructions in the /docs/Implementation-Guide PDF.
