CiviCRM Install - step 2

[Denver Dave]

Basic install with sample data installed with step 1

Now thinking about viewing sample data and CRM;
Administer / Sitebuilding / Modules

Notice open check boxes for:
CiviCRM 1.9 says Required by: CiviCRM OG Syc (disabled)

CiviCRM OG Sync 1.9 Depends on Og (missing), CiviCRM (disabled)

When I check the first CiviCRM 1.9 box and select Save Configuration, I get:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ',', expecting '(' in [....] civicrm.module on line 477
- - - -
solution:  It is a php5 vs php4 issue when php4 is the default.  See that lots of others had the same issue.
Added the following near the top of my .htaccess file:
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php

After the above and following the automated install directions - seem to have CiviCRM installed with sample data.  So close the install step 2 and obvious will have to concentrate in two areas:
(1) CiviCRM is an extensive application - will have to spend time lto learn its operations with sample data
(2) Will have to investigate CiviMail or other email methods to see if we have a "show stopper" - we are starting from the email list perspective and moving to Contact Resource Management
