GZIP tars can be "unzipped" on Windows machines as well.

Well I'm guessing you mean http://tripod.co.uk

I guess they do offer both now, but they never used to.

I am currently TRYING to install phpBB. I ran the install.php script and came up with this error:


Parse error: parse error in /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/liquiphy.hostingextreme.com/httpdocs/phpBB2/install.php on line 758


Then, i checked the install.php script. this is the line(s) with the prooblem:


if( preg_match("/^(3\.23)|(4\.)/", $version) )
{
$sql = "ALTER TABLE " . $table_prefix . "sessions
TYPE=HEAP";
$db->sql_query($sql))
}
}
}

line 758 is the line that says: $db->sql_query($sql))

Can anyone help me?? Im a very confused PHP newb....

Change
$db->sql_query($sql))
to
$db->sql_query($sql);

I thought they fixed that in RC-3 though.
