Install issues

I've installed GeekLog on quite a few sites and have no problem with the installs at all.

Today I tried to install GL on a Unix server, went through all the steps, made my chown and chmod changes to the appropriate directories and files, made what looked like the correct changes to config.php and lib-common.php, launched install, got to the second step, hit next and this is the error I got:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/www/tribalquest/lib-common.php on line 2621

Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: template in /home/www/tribalquest/lib-common.php on line 335

There are a couple of strange things with the errors. First, the path to GL is /home/tribalquest NOT /home/www/tribalquest. I can't figure out why the install is putting "www" in the path!!! I've checked everything I could to find the problem and can't find it. I did set up the path to GL correctly in config.php and the correct path to config.php in lib-common.php.

Anyone have any ideas?

You\'re talking about a Unix install here, but I have to ask this nonetheless: Did you use Dreamweaver to edit your lib-common.php? Or did you use WinZip to unpack the tarball? Because I have seen this type of error before when people where using either Dreamweaver or WinZip.

I you have, then please unpack the lib-common.php again (using WinRAR or gzip/tar on a Unix machine) and edit the file using a plain text editor (Notepad on Windows, if you have nothing else).

If that was not what you were using, then please quote line 2621 from your lib-common.php so that we can see what it is complaining about.

bye, Dirk

Hi Dirk.

I unpacked it on the server using the command line:

tar -xzvf <filename>

I did, however, edit lib-common.php with DreamweaverMX. I\'ll try unpacking it again and editing with notepad.

Thanks for all your help here. You do a really superb job helping people out with GeekLog!
