Error detected in config.php
Error in: $CFG->dirroot = '/home/example/public_html/moodle';
Try this: $CFG->dirroot = 'c:\program files\easyphp1-7\www\moodle';
it keeps on giving me this error even though i corrected the error in the config file and double checked the directory on my computer and checked for punctuation errors and found none. please help. i have attached the config file i made. i am new to mysql, apache and scripts. so please help me out.?
thanks
It seems you have attached all the configuration parameters at the end of the config.php. Your server never reaches the end of the file.
I think you better remove everything (also whitespaces) after the two lines that read
// MAKE SURE WHEN YOU EDIT THIS FILE THAT THERE ARE NO SPACES, BLANK LINES,
// RETURNS, OR ANYTHING ELSE AFTER THE TWO CHARACTERS ON THE NEXT LINE.
You can make all the necessary adaptations inside the config.php itself. Immediately after the lines that read:
// Make sure the upper/lower case is correct. Some examples:
//
// $CFG->dirroot = 'c:\program files\easyphp\www\moodle'; // Windows
// $CFG->dirroot = '/var/www/html/moodle'; // Redhat Linux
// $CFG->dirroot = '/home/example/public_html/moodle'; // Cpanel host
you can type...
$CFG->dirroot = etc...
I hope this can help...
BTW, if you post your config.php here, you'd better not include your database password and username. Leaving this out in the open on the internet is a security risk.
read the original if you are just new to helping me with this please and thank you.
