1.6.a install problem - ctdlg - 2022-05-02
Hello,
Installing 1.6.a from scratch gives an error on my localhost machine :
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'version' (T_STRING) in /16a/index.php on line 37.
16a is the folder that contains Zenphoto 1.6.a.
Here is line 37 :
?><?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
Do we need php 8 to run it (currently using php 7.4)
1.6.a install problem - acrylian - 2022-05-03
No, 1.6a should run on PHP 7+ and does for me actually.
> ?><?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
I can only assum that the `<?`or more specifically the closing `?>` are mistaken for PHP closing tags. Does your server have PHP short tags (`<?`) enabled?
1.6.a install problem - ctdlg - 2022-05-03
Yes,
short_open_tag On
info given in phpinfo.php page.
Using PHP7.4.27 under archlinux, Xampp on my localhost computer.
I did replace
<?
with
<?php
Same error.
If I set short_open_tag to off, I get that blank page :
http://fila4/16a/zp-core/setup/index.php?autorun=gallery
...
I tried
?><?php echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>';?>
Same blank page.
Console shows this error :
Cette page est en mode de compatibilité (quirks). La mise en page peut en être affectée. Pour le mode standard, utilisez « <!DOCTYPE html>

Sorry, don't understand it, that is the standard RSS placeholder and is not used unless RSS is requested…
Do you have any placeholder files within `/plugins/site_upgrade/`? If so you should not even reach that line…

Another thing to look at: Is your config file correct? THe way of loading it has changed as well. Formerly it was read as a text file and then eval'ed, now directly via `require_once` since it is of course already a PHP file.

1 I download your Zenphoto zip file
2 I decompress it on a localhost folder
3 I enter this folder
4 I get the above error, line 37, index.php file.
5 I tried editing your index.php file : error or blank page, Firefox console gives some information (above) (written in French)
Translation :
Diese Seite befindet sich im Kompatibilitätsmodus (Macken). Das Layout kann beeinträchtigt werden. Verwenden Sie für den Standardmodus "<!DOCTYPE html>
You could try a new install from scratch as I did !
1.6.a install problem - acrylian - 2022-05-03
Thanks for the translation, I did understand your Firefox is somehow in Quirks mode. Still don't get why.
Is you config file created correctly btw or don't you get that far at all?
I will try a fresh install for sure later on.
1.6.a install problem - ctdlg - 2022-05-03
You cannot open any page ! (error with root index.php file.)
config file can only be created if you can display 1st admin page.
1.6.a install problem - acrylian - 2022-05-04
You can of course also manually create the config file by using the template from zp-core. But we can reproduce some issues with a fresh install and try to solve it. There is a reason this is alpha status ;-)
1.6.a install problem - ctdlg - 2022-05-04
I understand the alpha status, of course.
I did try on my online website.
Same problem.
I do not need to install 1.6.a, I just want to help a little.
This is why I tried from scratch.
1.6.a install problem - acrylian - 2022-05-04
Of course and I appreciate the tests and help!
