Install problem

denisb

Just downloaded zenphoto 1.0.8.2 and uploaded it to my site. Set up the zp-config.php file, but I get the following error

Warning: Unexpected character in input: '\' (ASCII=92) state=1 in /home/mxx/public_html/zenphoto/zen/zp-config.php on line 2

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/mxx/public_html/zenphoto/zen/zp-config.php on line 3

What have I done wrong?

What does your zp-config file look like? (be sure to remove your usercode and password info before posting.)

File looks ok. Certainly no '\' on line 2.

Done a complete re-install and appears to work ok now.
