It would help if you mentioned what the actual problem is. And a quick search for "Lycos" reveals that it's not too easy to install Geeklog there because of all the restrictions they impose.

And finally, and because yours just happens to be second post in a row where someone asked for an email reply: This is not nice. If you can post here, you can read here. The discussion of your problem may help others - which is not possible when the discussion is via private email.

bye, Dirk

Now that problem has nothing to do with Lycos: You simply forgot to set the path to your config.php in lib-common.php (line 69, as it says in the error message).

bye, Dirk

Open lib-common.php, go to line 69. You'll see
Text Formatted Code
require_once( '/path/to/geeklog/config.php' );

It says "parse error in lib-common.php", so posting your config.php won't help ...

And before you quote your lib-common.php here (please don't): It also mentions line 69, which is the require_once line I quoted above. So the problem is there.

Make sure to enclose the path in single quotes and to end the line with a semicolon. Basically, make sure that line looks like it did before, only with your path in it.

bye, Dirk
