Hi all,
This will probably sound like a stupid post but Iäm just completely lost. I’m tying to follow this Lifehacker guide on how to install TT-RSS, but I can’t get past steps 2 or 3 (not sure where I’m getting stuck exactly).
At step 3 where I try and upload the file config.php,phpMyAdmin gives the following error:
Static analysis:
4 errors were found during analysis.
- Unexpected character. (near “?” at position 1)
- Unexpected beginning of statement. (near “?” at position 1)
- Unexpected beginning of statement. (near “php” at position 2)
- Unrecognized statement type. (near “Database” at position 62)
SQL query:
<?php // ******************************************* // *** Database configuration (important!) *** // ******************************************* define(‘DB_TYPE’, “mysql”)
#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '<?php // ******************************************* // *** Database configura' at line 1
However these “unexpected” characters seem to match the screenshot in the article. I edited the file using on the [Windows 10] desktop using Notepad if that helps.
I’m using a shared hosting plan with Dreamhost, which uses phpMyAdmin. I’ve built a tonne of self-hosted Worspress sites in the past so I thought I would have some understanding of what’s going on but I guess I’m really in over my head haha. I realise this isn’t much information to help someone with, but I’m hoping that Iäve just missed something really obvious that’s diagnosable despite me not being able to explain what the hell I’m doing haha.
Thanks in advance for your time
Zac
