Hi all,
Tried to install FUD on my Qnap Nas for testing purposes with the real online application in mind.
Well, the installation gave up on me in step 1. I am getting an PHP syntax error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '?' in /share/MD0_DATA/Qweb/fudforum/install.php on line 11


That sort of expirience is not encouraging for the first time user.
BTW my Qnap runs
Apache/1.3.41 (Unix) PHP/5.2.9

Please look at "The installer shows a blank page or question marks?" at http://cvs.prohost.org/index.php/FAQ

Thanks,
did not work. The .htaccess file created and saved in the root folder as advised. The error persists.

What is on line 11 in the script? The first '?' is on line 19!

So, there is definitely no '?' on line 11. Who know what may be going on here. Any chance of giving me temp access for testing?

My NAS is inaccessible form outside at the moment.
I am away for a week now. I will get back to you on my return.
What would you need on my side to carry out tests?

I would typically need shell access to the server and an admin account on the forum. Alternatively, setup a VM I can download or provide exact steps on how to reproduce the problem.

Best regards.

There is no '?' on line 11 of the script.

1) Please try workaround "The installer shows a blank page or question marks?" at FAQ.

2) If it doesn't work, can you give me temp access to investigate?

It didn't work. Yes, you can have temp access. I don't want to put access info here. Where can I send you the info please ?

Okay, I have now uploaded the FUD files (FUDforum_web_install_3.0.0.zip 2,537KB) as ascii files rather than binary ones.

My error is now...

"Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '?' in /home/mydir/public_html/forum/install.php on line 5"

Regards, John.

OK, I think we cracked this one. The pesky 'detect_unicode' setting is still to blame. However, the provided workaround of disabling it with a '.htaccess' file doesn't work for everyone as some hosts disables .htaccess. In such cases, you will have to change this setting in your 'php.ini' file and restart the webserver or ask your hosting provider to do it for you.

Yes, that was the problem. Thank you for solving it. Smile
