Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ECHO in /home/darkblue/public_html/scottishtartanshop/offline.php on line 78

any suggestions

thanks

This is very strange. I have never heard about this error. Please upload the offline.php file again, there could be some problem during the file transfer. If the problem won't be solved i may have a look at your site if you fill this form.
Thanks

ok.. I did, now it says:

This site is temporarily unavailable.
Please notify the System Administrator

Could not connect to the database server

Please check if the configuration.php file exist in the installation folder. It is possible that the the install script can not create the config file because of lack of permissions. If it does exist, please check if the database realted details are correct in it.
Thanks

ok, looks like the configuration.php is missing... how do I proceed? I am not sure why I am having problems, I already installed quite a few other programs before and never really ran into any problems before...

I think your installer and source files lost. the best way for repair the re-downloading all of your package and re-uncompress and re-uploading. If "just" the config file lost, create it, and go on!

thanks for the input... well I did a clean new install and ran into some different issues this time...

Warning: require_once(fill it with the installation path/includes/version.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/darkblue/public_html/scottishtartanshop/includes/joomla.php on line 71

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'fill it with the installation path/includes/version.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/darkblue/public_html/scottishtartanshop/includes/joomla.php on line 71

I had to leave off, because I ran out of time to deal with it again... sigh...

huncyrus · #9 (**permalink**) 01-21-2008, 12:55 PM

hmm, its insterest problem.

So, first, search the joomla.php in includes.
Second, re-check the configuration file (config.php) - search the path and directory settings.
I mean, the problem about 2 way -> bad configuration or bad package.

I have a question for u... this webserver is on your computer (so its a localhost) or on the web (free domain or main-domain)?

darkblue · #10 (**permalink**) 01-21-2008, 01:08 PM

well I am with bluehost and never had any real problems - their settings cover all common installs and I have plenty of options to change my settings... for one I didnt have this error the first time around...
