Forum parse error!

edited March 2006 in Vanilla 1.0 Help
Ok, I just uploaded all the files, etc., and went to view my newly created forum. Although, as soon as went to the front page, I got a Parse Error.

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/hamish/public_html/vanilla/appg/settings.php on line 29

Now, on line 29 in my settings.php file, there is this piece of code:-

define("agDEFAULT_STYLE", "styles/vanilla/");

And on the vanilla website, it says the default should be:-

define("agDEFAULT_STYLE", "styles/vanilla/");

I don't see what the problem is, as it is exactly the same as the default. Please help!

    Did you check the line(s) before 29? Especially keep an eye out for double slashes (//), and backslashes (\)

    Set your application path. No idea if that's what's causing this problem though. And I really didn't need to see your DB password. EDIT: The problem is a missing endquote and semicolon on line 28. Also, line 30 has some problems at the end.

    Lol, ok, I edited out my password. I'll try fixing the code up then, thanks. EDIT - Hmm...now i've just got a lot more errors! :S Instead of posting all the errors, i'll just post the link. http://www.hamishmcgee.hostmatrix.org/vanilla/ I hope this doesn't count as advertising!
  • BergamotBergamot
    Did you fix the application path?
  • hamishmcgeehamishmcgee
    Do I just put a link to the forum?
  • BergamotBergamot
    yep.

    Ok, i've done that, and now I get this error!

    Warning: main(): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known in /home/hamish/public_html/vanilla/index.php on line 15

    EDIT - No, wait, that's just part of theother errors. So, yeah, I have an Application Path, but the errors still appear.
  • BergamotBergamot
    Oops, my bad, the application path is supposed to be a local path, not a URL. If you're using windows, make sure to use forward slashes (/), and make sure there's a forward slash at the end Example: On Windows: "C:/inetpub/wwwroot/forum/" On Linux: "/var/www/forum/"
  • hamishmcgeehamishmcgee
    So, what would my local path be?
  • BergamotBergamot
    I have no idea; where do you put the files you want to be on your website?
  • hamishmcgeehamishmcgee
    /home/hamish/public_html/vanilla/

    would that be right?
  • BergamotBergamot
    Probably.

    Give it a shot.
  • hamishmcgeehamishmcgee
    Oh dear, look what's happened now!

  • BergamotBergamot
    Is your database server running on the same machine as your web server?
  • hamishmcgeehamishmcgee
    Yeah.
  • MarkMark Vanilla Staff
    Well, that's a pretty straightforward error. It's failing to connect to your database, so one or more of your db settings are incorrect.
  • a_magical_mea_magical_me
    Or the db software isn't running...
  • BergamotBergamot
    Or you don't have the MySQL libraries for PHP installed.
  • a_magical_mea_magical_me
    Or your computer hates you. ^_~
