Geeklog Forums

I have installed Apache, winmysqladmin and php in my computer. The directory of apache is in: d:/Archivos de programa/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs/ and the directory of geeklog is: d:/geeklog/ I copied \'public_html\' to \'htdocs\' and I created the database: geeklog. I have tried all the posibilities to the configuratios of config.php and lib-common.php, I don\'t know what the problem because I think I do this changes correctly but when I try: http://localhost/admin/install/install.php in my browse it writes: Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING\' in d:Archivos de programaApache GroupApachehtdocs/admin/install/install.php on line 166 what can i do?

You shouldn\'t get any parse errors in install.php. Did you edit that file? If so, please revert it to its original state (you don\'t need to edit it). bye, Dirk

I don\'t edit install.php. I only edit config.sys and lib-common.php, but only what the help say.

Hmm, line 166 in the install script is an empty line - in Geeklog 1.3.8-1. In 1.3.8, however, it's this: So are you trying to install 1.3.8 or 1.3.8-1? If it's 1.3.8, can you tell us what you have for $_CONF['path'] and $_DB_dbms in the install script? bye, Dirk

Can you view a basic html file in the web root? The error is missing / for the apache path. You might have an apahce setup problem. I might also look at http://aeonserv.com for a complete windows solution.

I am using 1.3.8 and I have: $_CONF[\'path\'] = \'d:/geeklog/\'; (but with inverse slash) and $_DB_dbms = \'mysql\'; I use mysql-3.23.57-win.zip. But I don\'t know if I created the database correctly. I Used phpMyadmin and it said that I have a database called \'geeklog\' how the help say. thanks.

I can see basic html files in \'http://localhost\' but not only that... I can use phpMyadmin and I probed the typical file of php with the info of the computer and the so. Php works well. Another thing is mysql. I don\'t know if it works well because this the first time that I need to use... perhaps this is the problem?

Try using forward slashes \'/\' in all paths. There isn\'t much you can do wrong there - you only need to create a new, empty database, that\'s all. bye, Dirk
