Unexpected character in input

Post by Stian »

Installation went fine, however i had a problem at the end and I get the following error when I click on "here is your CMS site":



Not Found
The requested URL /cgi-system/php.cg was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.


The only wierd thing I can find is in the preceding page where it tells me that the default url for my site is:

{site url}/cgi-system/php.cg

.cg?  I tried changing to .cgi thinking it might have been some kind of system error, but when I do that I get the following:



Warning: Unexpected character in input: '' (ASCII=15) state=1 in /usr/local/dh/cgi-system/php.cgi on line 1240

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /usr/local/dh/cgi-system/php.cgi on line 1240


The program also tells me that the "path to the document root" is:

/home/.felder/USERNAME/SITE URL/cms

strange url?

Does anyone know what's up?

Thanks,
Stian

Code: Select all

<?php
phpinfo();
?>
and paste the url here

did you use the search function of this forum? I guess not.
Seacrh for 'The requested URL /cgi-system/php.cg'
Mambo sucks, that's why I am here.
Now they call it Joomla, but it still sucks!

Can you post your config.php file, obviously with the database details commented out?  I have an idea of what it is, but I need to double check.  Thanks!
