How to manually install ZenCart?

If you do not want to use the experience of our Support Team or the comprehensive Softaculous auto-installer tutorial, you can still manually apply this script on your account with us. In order to do so, you have to go through a few steps:

1. Upload the script on your account via FTP or the cPanel File Manager

2. Create new database through the cPanel MySQL Wizard 

3. Go to yourdomain.com/folder (you replace “Folder” with the folder name, which you installed the files in)

4. You will now see the ZenCart installation page. There is a “Click Here” link to continue

5. Once on the next step, you have to agree with the ZenCart License Terms to continue

6. You will see some preinstall checks, which run automatically to detect your system settings

7. Fill in the information on the next screen as created by you:

-Database Server

cPanel Hosting from WebhostFace

-User

-Pass

-Database Name

8. Next is the System Setup page. By default, it should be filled automatically.

9. Enter Shop Info and Administration Details

10. Confirmation page for the installation

After you are done, there are a couple more important things to do:

– delete the zc_install folder

– change file permissions to 444 for  includes/configure.php and admin/includes/configure.php
