I just installed Zen Cart as a one click install from dreamhost. Everything went well, and I have gotten to the finished installin page. But now it says the final step is :

“For security, you will need to reset your configure.php files located in the /admin/includes/ and /includes/ folders back to read-only mode before allowing people to access your store.
”
I have no idea how to do this! I tried the set up instructions and they say:

“Delete the zc_install directory and change the admin/includes/configure.php and the includes/configure.php files to not be writable (by anybody) or world-readable!
(That’s: chmod 440 configure.php from the command line..)”

Which confuse me more! Please help! I am using dreamweaver and am very confident in using files and ftp etc. I have located the files I just have no idea what to do with them.
Thanks!

I want to setup a pay for content site that will provide information (no porn). I am looking for open source software or a company that will allow to do so. I can program in nearly any language but this is my first time in the pay for content world. Mainly i need to be able to to charge for time based subscriptions to content. I have looked at ccbill but there percentage is pretty high and they seem to have strong ties to porn. I have looked at many carts - zen cart, oscommerce, etc but they are more of stores and not subscription based. Any hekp is greatly appreciated

Ashley M asked:


I have been looking for a catalogue software and have decided to use an ecommerce cart. The two main ones I am considering are:

Zen Cart
VirtueMart

Since I am selling videos I want there to be an option to play a 30sec,10sec, whatever sec clip of the video. I believe that VirtueMart is tied in with Joomla so this should be possible but I would like confirmation/non confirmation before I go ahead and download it. As well, if you happen to know of a cart that can do this please advise.

Thank you
