Hi,

Please check your server meets the requirements documented at http://www.prosepoint.org/docs/requirements.html.

Also, please follow the installation guide at http://www.prosepoint.org/docs/installation.html,

and please tell me which stage in 5.4 you got up to.

Also, I don't suppose I can get you to try a reinstall, or maybe even a redownload? Sounds like that particular file got corrupted somehow.

Hi,

Just had a thought. That particular line has a syntax that requires PHP 5. My apologies.

I guess your server has an older version of PHP?

sorry.. you are right. I have now moved the installation to another server on php5 and it worked well. Thank you!

This issue has been diagnosed. The offending line uses a syntax that requires PHP 5.

It will be fixed in the next ProsePoint release.

However, there is a temporary workaround ...

In the file .../profiles/prosepoint/themes/zen/zen/template.php, change line 395 from:

  foreach ($existing AS $hook => &$value) {

to:

  foreach ($existing AS $hook => $value) {

In other words, delete the '&' character.

Thank you, and sorry for the inconvenience.

This has been fixed in the release of ProsePoint 0.04. However, moving forward, it is likely that support for PHP 4.x will be dropped.

php4.x support == may be you can keep this till 1st stable release and then
stop the php4 support in the next release. (I hv already playing in a php5.x
server)
People with php4 can then still play with the stable release and if they
want to go for a live site, they go with a regular release.
