Sondov, Is this an OSCommerce site? It appears you are not hosting at TCH, are you on a windows server? I have heard of problems like this with OSCommerce and Zen-Cart for sites hosted on windows servers. Also, when I go to your site, all of the images break, I don't see any images.

I see it in Dallas

OK... scratch all that... I am using my own SSL certificate, but I just looked at a zen site I setup on another domain to do testing on and it uses TCH SSL. Looking at that configure file, here is what I have (and it is working) Virtual Server: https://server**.totalchoicehosting.com/~username/ Virtual Path: catalog/ Both with the trailing slash.

After looking at my configure.php, I think I had that backwards, as far as the trailing slash goes. I don't have one on the virtual server, but I do have one on the virtual path. Try changing it to that in your configure.php file and see if that fixes it.

There are two places where you have to enter SSL information during installation. The Virtual HTTPS Server and the Virtual HTTPS Path. Virtual HTTPS Server should be https://server*.totalchoicehosting.com/~username/ where * = your server number where username= your username that you use to login to cpanel Virtual HTTPS Path should be https://server*.totalchoicehosting.com/~username/catalog where * = your server number where username= your username that you use to login to cpanel where catalog= the folder you have zen-cart in Did you get those both correct?

Maybe you need a cookie! LOL

Feen, I am going to PM you!

HA! Now I can blame my weight on being too smart! Bruce is right, just create a new account and on the 2nd or third screen you will see a drop-down that defaults to POP3, just change that to IMAP.

Hi Feen! Yes, just create a folder in public_html called catalog and upload the tar or zip file into that folder. Then extract it! If you would like a hand to hold let me know I have MSN and Yahoo IM available.

Hoorah!! I LOVE COOOKIIIEES! LOL

YEAH! Do I get a cookie?? Actually, I tried IMAP in OE on my laptop a while ago, just to see what IMAP was about, didn't mess with much, but it seemed to be ok.

Well HI there! You have been MIA for a while! We missed you! At the risk of making a complete fool out of myself, I will make a possible suggestion. If you changed your account in OE to IMAP instead of POP3 won't that leave all messages on the server that you can access via OE or webmail?

Yeah! Glad you got it working!

And by the way...Welcome to the family!!

Try using username+domain.com as your login name (+ instead of the @) and see if that works.

Hi Feen, You can use FTP or the File Manager in Cpanel to upload the file.

Hi Feen, After doing this a couple times, the best piece of advice I can give is to download the zip or tar.gz file from Zen-Cart, then upload that file to either your public_html (if you want the shop to be at the root of your site) or create a folder like "cart" or "catalog" etc. and upload the file there. Once you have it uploaded, use File Manager in Cpanel and click on the file name and there will be an option on the right to Extract File Contents. This will unzip the cart for you. This is much easier than unzipping the file on your computer and then uploading all the files and folders via FTP. Now you can unzip the file on your computer to read the documentation, and so you have a local copy of all the files. HTH! Don't hesitate to ask if you run into any problems!

Hi Feen, I am running Zen-Cart. I looked at both OSC and Zen-Cart and prefered Zen. As I mentioned in another thread, OSC's development seems to have stalled with their last release being in July 2003, but Zen-Cart is putting out releases quite often, their last being in December. After deciding on the features I needed, I saw that with OSC, I would have to install several user contributions. With Zen-Cart they were all in the basic install. I have installed a few Zen-Cart contributions, but they weren't necessary for what I needed, just enhancements. I also prefer the Zen-Cart over-ride system, which makes upgrading easier. You can install OSC here with a 1-click install, so the WOULD be easier, but I find Zen-Cart's install pretty easy. I have installed it several times and have it down to about 10 minutes. Lastly, I find that Zen-Cart's forum is much more friendly and very active. If you have the time and inclination, install both and test them out. You may find you prefer one over the other. Good Luck! If you need any help, let me know!

Congratulations Steve!!

Me Too! PDF's drive me crazy in Firefox!

Are you using the newest version of Firefox? 1.0? I know I had problems with a previous version.

Would it depend on which server he is on? Now that there are new name servers for server 93+? Or, does NS1 and NS2 work on any server? If so, I read that announcement from Rob wrong.

Congratulations Robert!!

Congratulations Bruce!

Hi Robert, There are many reasons why I decided to go with Zen-Cart. First, because OSC seems to have stalled in their development. Their last release was 7/2003. Second, because as I was looking through their forums, they didn't seem to be very kind to newbies. (this may have changed since then) Third, the number of user contributions I would have had to install to get what I wanted. (I can't detail this since it has been quite a while) Zen-Cart is more feature-rich out of the box, their development is current (their latest release was 12/23/04). The Zen-Cart forum is active and friendly. I had played with OScommerce several times and would get frustrated and quit. I was hooked on Zen-Cart almost immediately, it just seemed to make more sense to my old brain
