Problem: I have installed CMS made simple and am encountering this error message:

"/home/campusac/public_html/people/config.php File not writable! This file may not exist yet. If it does not, you should create an empty file with this name. Please also ensure that this file writable by the web server process."

I created an empty file with the name "/home/campusac/public_html/people/config.php" but don't know if I did it properly.

The file I created is writable, but I am still encountering the message. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!!

Did you follow the installation instructions to the letter?

http://wiki.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php ... ck_Install

Once you've copied the CMSms core files up to your webspace, you need to create an empty file called "config.php" and upload that. Set its permissions to 777 and then start your installation.

I'm not sure if you're just including the path for us, but the file you need to create is called "config.php"

I followed the instructions and now am encountering this error:

"Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/campusac/public_html/people/config.php on line 1"

Can you "ls -l" your config.php before your launch the setup wizard in the browser ?
Please elaborate on your actions and seen results so far.

You created a file names '/home/campusac/public_html/people/config.php'?

Create a file named config.php and upload into the same directory as the package files. Then chmod accordingly and continue with the process.

...and chown if necessary!
