Returning a [Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING on line 149]. I'm wondering if sharique had any luck with the above fix? No joy with my attempt. 

Thanks so much for the reply: this puzzles me (unfortunately I'm not at the relevant machine at the moment not verify) but I completely upgraded XAMPP (1.63 release) running MySQL 5.0.45 and PHP 5.2.3 and installed the php5 civic install.

Requires some sleuthing on my part. Will report back. 

What file is it returning a parse error on?

also can u cut-n-paste lines: 145-155 from that file

thanx

lobo

Based on the include_path value reported by the system and your civicrm_root settings in your civicrm.settings.php file, i suspect it is not reading your civicrm.settings.php file

is this file located in: sites/default (in the same directory as your drupal settings.php file?)

If so, can u put a print and exit at the top of the file and ensure the file is being read?

lobo

yes, civicrm.config.php is in its right place

at the top of your civicrm.settings.php AFTER:

<?php

ADD:

echo "In civicrm.settings.php<p>";
exit( );

and see what happens

also can u change:

$civicrm_root = 'C:/xampp/htdocs/icrm/sites/all/modules/civicrm/';

to

$civicrm_root = "C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\icr\\sites\\all\\modules\\civicrm/";

thanx

lobo

I think your root must start from the server base, not from the windows install

Example:
$civicrm_root = '/htdocs/............/.../...../civicrm/';
define( 'CIVICRM_TEMPLATE_COMPILEDIR', '/htdocs/..../templates_c/' );

Martin

Thanks everyone for your assistance - still no joy and another fresh install. I have tried all possible syntax so I'm wondering if anyone would kindly cast their eye over this config and give me a yell if anything blindingly obvious stands out. Thanks in advance.
