davy51:
Im trying to set up a forum and am having problems
I am getting this error
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in \\nawinfs06\home\users\web\b2000\*******\Forum\includes\config.php on line 27
Its bugging me
I nee d help lol
sam:
what forum software are you trying to setup?
sounds like for some reason the php has a '[' where their should not be one in the config file. If you post the whole code - or the code around line 27 I'm sure we can fix it.
Simon:
That is, we're sure YOU can fix it, Sam. ;)

// ****** DATABASE TYPE ******
['DB_TYPE'] = "mysql"
// ****** DATABASE NAME ******
"********.startlogicmysql.com".
$config['Database']['smoke_forum_2009'] = 'forum';gr
$config['Database']['smoke_forum_2009'] = 'forum'
// ****** MASTER DATABASE SERVER NAME AND PORT ******
values.
$config['MasterServer']['*******.startlogicmysql.com'] = 'localhost';
$config['MasterServer']['port'] = 3306;
// ****** MASTER DATABASE USERNAME & PASSWORD ******
"********.startlogicmysql.com". $config['MasterServer']['***_*_****'] = 'root'; $config['MasterServer']['**-*********'] = '';
of course the stars replace personal info
sam:
assuming this copied correctly then I think there are a number of isses. The first is that there appears to be a number of syntax errors - did you edit the file much? The big issue is at the end of each line there should be a ";" this is the end of line command and I would expect to see this on the first line like:
--- Code: ---['DB_TYPE'] = "mysql" ;
--- End code ---
according to the vBulletin manual it should be declared like so:
--- Code: ---$config['Database']['dbtype'] = 'mysql';
--- End code ---
actually the vBulletin board manual for config.php looks quite different: http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/main/config.php Have you had to do much editing?
