Zen Cart and shared hosting

Zen Cart and shared hosting

So, how many users will your site handle without having the web hosting provider suspending your hosting account and sending you a nasty email? Frankly, I'm not sure. But a client of mine got her account suspended when her online advertisement (Facebook CPC ad) brought about 90 users to her site at about the same time. Normally, her site will have about 20 users online most of the time.

Okay, what about choosing a web hosting provider? Well, just choose from the more reputable hosting providers. Zen Cart server requirements are similar to most other programs and hosting companies should have no problem with that.

Having said that, I did still face some issues with a couple of hosting companies:

1. Hosting company A - PHP runs with Safe Mode turned ON
Zen Cart seems to run okay but Image Handler 2 just won't run properly. See this forum post for more info about servers with PHP Safe Mode turned ON.

2. Hosting company B - No cURL support
Zen Cart will run without cURL but some shipping and payment modules require cURL

So, if you're not sure, ask the hosting provider first!

Change Character Set to UTF-8 in Zen Cart

English IS0-8859-1 files to UTF-8 | SRW2D

First of all, the Zen-Cart encoding is IS0-8859-1 by default. IS0-8859-1 can be changed to UTF-8 with not much effort!

The first change needed is to english.php:

The path to this file is: includes/languages/english.php

Open it in your text editor and then follow these instructions:

1->Line 22 or near there if the file has been edited, you will find this:
@setlocale(LC_TIME, 'en_US.ISO_8859-1');

2->Change this line to this:
@setlocale(LC_TIME, 'en_US.utf8');

3->Line 49 or so again. Find this:
define('CHARSET', 'iso-8859-1');

4->Change it to this:
define('CHARSET', 'utf-8');

The next file to change has the same name but is in a different directory:

Find it in: admin/includes/languages/english.php

1->On line 20 find:
setlocale(LC_TIME, 'en_US.ISO_8859-1');

2->Change to this:
setlocale(LC_TIME, 'en_US.utf8');

3->On line 63 find:
define('CHARSET', 'iso-8859-1');

4->Change this to:
define('CHARSET', 'utf-8');

The next change is to query_factory.php.

Find it in: includes/classes/db/mysql/query_factory.php

1-> Find this (line 33):

// pconnect disabled ... leaving it as "connect" here instead of "pconnect"
$this->link = @mysql_connect($zf_host, $zf_user, $zf_password, true);
}
if ($this->link) {
if (@mysql_select_db($zf_database, $this->link)) {
$this->db_connected = true;
return true;
} else {
$this->set_error(mysql_errno(),mysql_error(), $zp_real);
return false;
}
} else {
$this->set_error(mysql_errno(),mysql_error(), $zp_real);
return false;
}
}

2-> Change to this (this will not work as an override):

// pconnect disabled ... leaving it as "connect" here instead of "pconnect"
$this->link = @mysql_connect($zf_host, $zf_user, $zf_password, true);
}
if ($this->link) {
if (@mysql_select_db($zf_database, $this->link)) {

//BOF changed for utf-8
mysql_query('SET NAMES "utf8"', $this->link);
//EOF changed for utf-8

$this->db_connected = true;
return true;
} else {
$this->set_error(mysql_errno(),mysql_error(), $zp_real);
return false;
}
} else {
$this->set_error(mysql_errno(),mysql_error(), $zp_real);
return false;
}
}

Note the key change is :
//BOF changed for utf-8
mysql_query('SET NAMES "utf8"', $this->link);
//EOF changed for utf-8

Also, here is an important tip. At this point you should change your admin folder name now for security issues. For more information on this go [here]
