There are two files that need to be created on the server. These are the configure.php files that identify the settings of your particular server and the location of the files that you just loaded.  There is a configure.php file for Zen Cart Admin and a configure.php file for the Online Catalog (store front).   This step is best completed using the File Manager of your web host (for example the File Manager available in cPanel). 

1. Log in to cPanel.
2. Click on File Manager.
   
3. Select the correct location of your Zen Cart install and click the Go button.
   
4. Double click on the includes folder and scroll down to a file named dist-configure.php.  Tick the checkbox next to this file and select Rename from the menu icons.
   
5. Rename the dist-configure.php file to configure.php.  Tip:  When renaming the file DO NOT use the delete key (File Manager interprets this as you want to delete the file), use the Backspace key instead.  Click the Rename File button.
   
6. Now, while the new configure.php file is still selected, click on the Change Permissions icon in the menu.  Tick all the boxes until the Permission reads 7 7 7 (read-write-execute for all), then click the Change Permissions button.
   
7. Navigate to the root of your Zen Cart install and double click on the Admin folder.
8. Locate the dist-configure.php file and rename to configure.php. 
   

   Note: that while the Online Catalog configure.php and the Admin configure.php files are similar, these are not identical files and cannot be transferred or copied between the two locations.

9. Then, as before, click on Change Permissions and change to 7 7 7 (read-write-execute for all).
10. The configure.php files are now ready.
