CMS Made Simple Forums

Hello! I attempted to install CMS and am running into a problem.

Getting this error on the 'Checking permissions and PHP settings' page:

Testing error_reporting to ensure E_STRICT is disabled
E_STRICT is enabled

Testing error_reporting to ensure E_DEPRECATED is disabled
E_DEPRECATED is enabled

I think it has to do with this piece I couldn't quite understand in the directions for a setup on Windows:

Create an empty config.php

-->> Create an empty C:\xampp\htdocs\cmsmadesimple\config.php file with the Windows Explorer. Right-click in the given directory and choose "new/text document".

-->> Change the name in config.php. make sure the file type is PHP, not TXT or text document.

After the above, I know have a blank file named config.php.

However, this next step I don't understand:
. In Notepad, save a blank page with the filename "config.php" including the quotes.

Windows won't let you crfeate a filename with quotes in it. So i think it might be written wrong.

Can someone tell me if the errors I lsited above are the result of that last step in red?

Thanks in advance!

In your php.ini, change the settings for error_reporting to:
then restart Apache.

Thanks!

OK, i tried that.

When i go to stop Apache, i get this:

ERROR: -1

And Apache stays on and I still get the error when I try to install.

EDIT:
Had to restart my laptop, but it worked.

Thanks!
