working zen cart

Last night after creating a zencart mysql database, the zen-cart site seemed to be working ok. I loaded up the demo and was able to play with it a little.

on the trail of php continued

Took care of my last php warning with:

aptitude install php5-gd

on the trail of php continued

I got the following warning:

MySQL Support = OFF Click here for more info


Not surprisingly, the following command took care of it:

aptitude install php5-mysql

Next I got a message saying php was not compiled with curl. Resolved this by installing php5-curl

I have no idea (yet) what curl is.

on the trail of php

Early on in the configuration process I see this:

ERROR: date.timezone not set in php.ini. Please contact your hosting company to set the timezone in the server PHP configuration before continuing.

Modified php.ini as follows to fix:

diff --git a/php5/apache2/php.ini b/php5/apache2/php.ini

installed php5

I needed to install php to take care of the php execution problems that I encountered the other day. No big surprise. Installed as follows:

aptitude install php5

I also had to clear the cache on my browser.
