New install getting error message.

[anwid]

When I am trying to install 5.2 as a fresh version, I get the following error message:


Warning: Unexpected character in input: '\' (ASCII=92) state=1 in /hsphere/local/home/anwidpc/dir/lib/link.class.php on line 1274

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /hsphere/local/home/anwidpc/dir/lib/link.class.php on line 1274


I tried a test install on another server and it works.
The only thing I can see different is that I do not have the host set to "localhost" in the first server but to point to an actual mysql server. It gets to the "Select Installation Type" in the install steps, so I can assume that it is connecting to the db.

In the test server I have the host set to "localhost".

I even created the DBs using the _520.sql to manually create the DBs. But it still does not work.

Am I only able to properly install using "localhost"?

What php version do you use?

[anwid]

PHP Version 4.3.11

I was able to clear everything out and install Indexu 5.1.1, no problem.

I then cleared everything out again and tried reinstalling 5.2.0. Still the same problem.

Hi, I'm having the same problem with an install. Is there something I can try?

You're installing version 5.2? Or did you just reply to a thread that's 16 months old by accident?
