Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /var/www/html/sugarcrm/config.php

[jacquesb]

Good day,

Please could someone help me with this problem.

I have a fresh install of Fedora Core 4, and I am having problems installing SugarCRM 4.5.0.

I have created my database by running the following commands:

mysql -B -e "drop database if exists sugarcrm"

mysql -B -e "create database sugarcrm"

mysql -B -e "grant all privileges on sugarcrm.* to sugarcrm@localhost identified by 'sugarcrm'"

I then unzip the SugarCRM package by running

unzip -qod '/var/www/html' SugarSuite-4.5.0.zip

I then rename the Sugar install directory to sugarcrm, by running:

/bin/mv -f /var/www/html/SugarSuite-Full-4.5.0 /var/www/html/sugarcrm

I then change the file ownership and permissions, by running:

chmod 700 /var/www/html/sugarcrm -R

chown apache.apache /var/www/html/sugarcrm -R

From there I open up a web browser, and go to the Sugar directory, where I run the installer.

Everthing goes well,

Step 2 shows no errors or problems. Here is the read-out:
Component Status
PHP Version OK (ver 5.0.4 )
MySQL Database OK
MB Strings Module OK
XML Parsing OK
PHP Safe Mode Turned Off OK
PHP Allow Call Time Pass Reference Turned On OK
PHP Memory Limit >= 32M OK (Unlimited)
Writable SugarCRM Configuration File (config.php) OK
Writable Custom Directory OK
Writable Modules Sub-Directories and Files OK
Writable Data Sub-Directories OK
Writable Cache Sub-Directories OK
Writable Session Save Path (/var/lib/php/session) OK
Optional Components Status
IMAP Module OK
cURL Module OK
PHP-JSON Module (v 1.1.1) Not found: The PHP-JSON PHP module reaps enormous performance benefits.
ZLIB Compression Module OK

Note: Your php configuration file (php.ini) is located at:
/etc/php.ini

In step 3, I make the Hostname, the IP of the MySQL server, or 192.168.1.10. The DB name, username and password is "sugarcrm". The priviledged db name is root, with no password (as I have not set one yet, still testing...)

Then steps 4-6 I do not change.

Step 7 runs cleanly. When I click on the "Next" button, I get the following error message:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /var/www/html/sugarcrm/config.php on line 237

I have attached the config.php file to this message.

I would really appreciate it if anyone could assist me with this problem.

This looks like the same problem I had when I posted about the config.php file being truncated...

If you hand edit the config file and close any open quotes, then put a closing ) and a closing ?>, then save the config.php file, and retry it will work...(at least it did for me...)

Hi,

It still does not work.

The last couple of lines read:

'upload_dir' => 'cache/upload/',

'upload_maxsize' => 3000000,

'use_php_code_json' => true,

'verify_client_ip' =>

By closing off the parenthesis will not be able to work here

Does anyone know of a solution to this problem?

the last lines of your config.php have got to look like this:

'upload_dir' => 'cache/upload/',
'upload_maxsize' => 3000000,
'use_php_code_json' => true,
'verify_client_ip' => true,
);
?>

HI,

I had the same parse error after installation. I closed all the tags
and then sugar starts.

As admin I have changed the mail configuration and after saving it
BOOM! Parse error again. Always at the end of config.php file.

Reclose the tags and then sugar starts again.

Rechanged mail configuration and saved and than parse error
again.

I think it is not the right behaviour.

Anyone knows how to fix it?

Thank you.
