There is something wrong with catalog/admin/includes/configure.php on line 2

 

Suggest you look in there.

 

Should be atleast 20 lines in it, normally ending with your db credentials and terminated

Any ideas anyone ??

[airbrushmaster]

just upload a new one if your not sure how to fix it

[dares_uk]

uploading a new one is not a practical idea.

it took me long enough to set it up,

and had to seek help to get it working properly

 

 

still getting this error.

Hi, Can you find the original file and try just pasting over the top few lines, seen as the error is saying line 2. I have looked at my files before and been unable to see a problem and this sorted it out - people are always talking about 'white space' whihc seems to mess things up.
