MAMP Install / php syntax error

Jack

Hi All,

I've read the other MAMP posts from a year ago and I'm still having some trouble installing collective access using MAMP (I'm running OS X 10.5, MAMP ver. 1.8.2.) I'm getting a syntax error in the setup.php file when I go to the install page http://localhost:8888/web/install/index.php:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '?', expecting ')' in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/web/setup.php on line 56

The line with the error looks like this

$_OC_INSTANCE_CONFIG_FILES = array( 'localhost:8888' => OC_HOME_DIR.'/conf/app.conf',? '192.168.1.4:8888' => OC_HOME_DIR.'/conf/app.conf' );

My php knowledge is pretty poor. Any advice? I think I've done everything else right with the install. Thanks!

Hi,

Try getting rid of the ? at the end of the "localhost:8888" line.

Hi Seth,

I did try that and I received a new error message:

Configuration file is missing for hostname 'localhost:8888'

What is OC_HOME_DIR set to?

Jack

define("OC_HOME_DIR", "/Applications/MAMP/home");

Jack

Ah, OK I changed that directory to

define("OC_HOME_DIR", "/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/home");

And it's working. Thanks!!!

Great!

Let us know how you fare with the software and keep in mind that a major revision (basically a rewrite) is coming down the pike very soon.
