Well, the first message says it all - you have an error in line 2 of your config.php. This is a bit unusual, since that is an empty line in the default config.php ... Make sure the first three lines in your config.php look like this: <?php /* Reminder: always indent with 4 spaces (no tabs). */ You may have accidentally added or removed a character there. If in doubt, start with a fresh copy of the config.php. Hope that helps ... bye, Dirk

What are you using to edit your files?

Word pad

Hmmm, Wordpad should be okay. On line 69, see if you are missing a quote or bracket or semicolon or have a stray character.

how do i know which line is 69?

I don't know if WordPad has the ability to display line numbers. If it doesn't, then I recommend you use a different editor because anytime you receive an error it will point to the line where the problem is. Without the numbers it will be very hard to find. This is line 69 in sr2: // You only need to change this if you moved or renamed the public_html Most likely the error is in the $_CONF['path'] or $_CONF['path_html'] line which are on either side of it. $_CONF['path'] = '/path/to/geeklog/'; // C:/inetpub/wwwroot/geeklog/ // You only need to change this if you moved or renamed the public_html // directory. In that case, you should specify the complete path to the // directory like this (i.e. without the $_CONF['path']): // $_CONF['path_html'] = '/path/to/your/public_html/'; $_CONF['path_html'] = $_CONF['path'] . 'public_html/';
