O.K., What Now!
I'm going to post his over here.
I decided to try 1.7.1.1 on my Windows machine running NT4, MySQL 3.23.55, PHP 4.3.2
I did a clean install, DB and all.
1. I get the home page without the right/left columns.
2. I had to use tiki-login_scr.php to login.
3. I had to use tiki-admin.php to see the icons.
4. I tried to turn on the features, (they were all off), it would not save them.
5. I see the error message below at the bottom of the page.
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in D:\FMPD\htdocs\tiki1711\Smarty\Smarty_Compiler.class.php(240) : regexp code on line 2
Fatal error: Failed evaluating code: '{*'.str_repeat(" ", substr_count('if $tiki_p_admin eq y and $feature_debug_console eq y', " ")) .'*}' in D:\FMPD\htdocs\tiki1711\Smarty\Smarty_Compiler.class.php on line 240
What's going on? 1.6.1 ran great on this same machine!
Any ideas?
