1.6.a install problem

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)

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?

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 !

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.

You cannot open any page ! (error with root index.php file.)
config file can only be created if you can display 1st admin page.

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 ;-)

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.

Of course and I appreciate the tests and help!
