Odd Installation error
Nobody
Anonymous
I get the following error after hitting 'next' on the initial install page:
Parse error: parse error in D:/Program Files/apachefriends/xampp/htdocssites/geeklogconfig.php on line 72
I removed some of the comments in the config file because line 72 was a comment (WTF?!!?) and then it pointed to line 62, which is this:
It is a parse error, but I don't see any problem. All preceeding lines end with semicolons and use single-quotes appropriately.
Any thoughts?

Any thoughts?

Are you using backslahses in your paths? Those are used to escape characters, which would explain the parse errors.
Use forward slashes '/' everywhere. Yes, they work under Windows.
bye, Dirk
