You could've just used winzip as well.

 

[Lokannon]

I believe he wanted it in zip format, not tar.gz

Whoops...well if he was desperate he could have got something like winace to open it.

It's not possible. They don't offer php or mysql.

 

[Whisper2Me]

ummmmmm then why was I allowed to enable them?

 

[Whisper2Me]

on the install as we speak. PLUS the help forums at tripod.uk tell how to install it.

care to revise your opinion?

 

[Bruce]

Well I'm guessing you mean http://tripod.co.uk

I guess they do offer both now, but they never used to.

Help with install....

I am currently TRYING to install phpBB. I ran the install.php script and came up with this error:


Parse error: parse error in /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/liquiphy.hostingextreme.com/httpdocs/phpBB2/install.php on line 758


Then, i checked the install.php script. this is the line(s) with the prooblem:

if( preg_match("/^(3\.23)|(4\.)/", $version) )
					{
						$sql = "ALTER TABLE " . $table_prefix . "sessions 
							TYPE=HEAP";
						$db->sql_query($sql))
					}
				}
			}

line 758 is the line that says: $db->sql_query($sql))

Can anyone help me?? Im a very confused PHP newb....

[Bruce]

Change

$db->sql_query($sql))

to

$db->sql_query($sql);

I thought they fixed that in RC-3 though.

 

[Lokannon]

heh...

Thats why! i knew that... just wasnt patient.. i have a problem with that....

its RC-2



Thnx
