Parse error: syntax error...

[ThePapabear]

Hi!

I´ve installed 3.0.5 on my local testserver and it runs fine. Now installing the vBadvanced and running in troubles...

I´ve checked all the files 3 times and reinstalled all VBa files. But the same error appears again and again:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_GLOBAL in C:\apachefriends\xampp\htdocs\web\index.php on line 27

and here my index.php:
<?php

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'adv_index');
define('VBA_PORTAL', true);

// ============================================

chdir('c:\apachefriends\htdocs\web\forum\');

// ============================================

// ============================================

require_once('global.php');

print_portal_output($home);

?>

When changing line 27 to "('./global.php')" i get an parse error again:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '/' in C:\apachefriends\xampp\htdocs\web\index.php on line 27

Local i have installed the newest version of XAMPP on WinXP SP2 which runs without problems. Thanks for any help.

PS: i forgot to say, that the forums version is the german one from vbulletin-germany.com

Your chdir line needs to be changed to this:
chdir('c:/apachefriends/htdocs/web/forum');

If you get errors after that then you'll also need to change the require_once() line back.

Hi!

Thanks! This helps one step along the way. The lines look now like this:
chdir('c:/apachefriends/xampp/htdocs/web/forum/');
require_once('./global.php');
You´ll see, that 3 times checking is not enough. A part of the directory was missing (xampp). No error any more, but blank page.... :(

Could this be a problem with languages? German board and english vBadvanced?
Forum shows up normally, but without blocks...

Hi!

Reinstalled templates: no change, blank page
Reinstalled whole CMP: no change, blank page

Now i realy don´t know any other way to try. If someone want´s to look at the files, i can give him an ftp-account per pm.

Remove the / from the end of your path.

Hi!

I did so, but the page is blank. At the server, where the whole forum should get installed it works fine. Some things i will never understand....
So i´ll have to test all on this server. Doesn´t make it easyer but works...

Thanks for helping!

i had this problem in my site ..
i did make sure that i rehacked all the files needed and reinstalled the templates
and while viewing the page press Ctrl + F5 cuz the damn blank page was in the cash and after pressing Ctrl F5 worked fine for me ^_^

[ThePapabear]

..i allways refresh with pressed STRG. :D
Something is loading, but nothing showing...
I´ll do my work on the server at the hoster. Better not so easy to work, than not able to work anything on it.
