ok im having no real problems with this at all..

I have run zen cart for many years now, and am just updating and moving my shop back to freeola.

The path for VIP users works as follows
/var/www/vipxx/sites /vipxxxxxx/httpd/htdocs/"storefolder"
(had to add the space between sites and / it should not be there)
vipxx is the server number, corresponds to your ftp server info, i beleive.

the vipxxxxx is your user account.

This worked for me and is definately not just /httpd/ as suggested in the help files..

Let me know if that helps, If i can help with anything else please ask..

Hi and welcome to the forums!

Looking at AbzDarts' profile it doesn't appear he/she has created a Freeola Knowledge Base article - perhaps they'll see your post and submit one :¬)

After nearly 30 hours of messing about I finally figured the whole thing out and my shop is now operational.

To save others this heartache I wrote down all my stuff and will now write it down in a format that can be easily read and create a numpties guide to installing zen cart 1.3.9 on freeola. Zen Cart 1.5.* is not compatible with Freeolas php server. So dont even bother trying that 1.

Big Thankyou for all those that helped.




Hi, I am just starting the road to installation of Zen Cart, had downloaded 1.5* but have changed it to 1.3.9 as you say, did you get the numpties guide written or posted it sounds like it would be useful.

Cheers

It looks like your address is just about there. VIP Hosting File Structure shows the correct format - your VIP number and '/shop' seem to be the only differences.

Zen cart comes with an installer that should create the tables necessary. It certainly shouldnt be necessary to do anything with the db permissions. Given theres no tables, it sounds like the installer hasnt been run. Or at least its failing, in which case there would have been errors displayed.
