Hi,
Just thought I would get OpenCart down and slap in on a spare domain on my VPS. Justed finished setting up and customising Zen Cart and after saying f**kin Zen Cart s**t for the last time, I wanted to fined something better, easier to navigate, and quicker in general. So Open Cart seemed a good choice...until now!
Ok, uploaded the install file to the server, chmod 777 all the files that where needed in install.txt file, and then opened the url in my browser. And the errors began.

Now I did chmod everything it asked for in the install.txt, but there is no directory called cache only image/cache which I did chmod. There is no download directory so I guessed this was referring to the install directory (being test in my case) so I chmod that as well just for good measure. I can't do much about register globals as I'm currently on a VPS from webfusion (until my own server goes off for colocation in a few weeks) and chances are they wouldn't be too happy if I messed with that.
Still nothing.
Help!

Yeah you are not running the correct PHP required to run this script, which is 5, ask your administrator to upgrade. You have to make sure all of that in the list is in green before progressing otherwise you will come up against errors. It's not difficult, this is one of the easiest scripts to install! Believe me I have installed many and It was like a breath of fresh air to be able to install within less than 10 mins. Keep at it, it will pay off!
By the way never tried zen cart is it really that bad?

Yeah, by far the worst system I have ever used. It is based on oscommerce which isn't too bad, but when you have to user 3 differnt menu items to alter one thing you have to wonder why.
Oscommerce is ok package, but Zen Cart seems to be a patch work of many differnt developers work and also slow/heavy. Took me 4 weeks to finished installing, templating, customising, and problem solving Zen Cart. The PayPal Express module suddenly died 2 days ago, but now I have go it working again.
Image resizing would be a nice feature, but they don't even handle that. I wrote a PHP based image resize, rename, and crop script recently for JPEG images for my own CMS system. Any emails sent from the zen system gets sorted as Junk Mail by Hotmail, Yahoo, and BT Yahoo Mail/BT Open World. I had to mod all the email scripts to tell people to had the shops email address to there safe senders list.
Unfortunaly I can't setup PHP5 as I'm on a VPS with WebFusion/Pipex using Plesk, so this will have to wait until my own server goes online in a month.

I have had a few problems with customers who host with WebFusion/Pipex. Even after getting webFusion to switch customers to PHP5 they refused to change the settings to allow ini_set to switch registered globals off.laughingbuddha wrote: Yeah, by far the worst system I have ever used.
