Just tried to install 2.3.1 and it looks like the sapphire/dev/install/config-form.html is missing some php start tags. I made the following fixes and it works
now

line 62 & 63

<li>........checked="checked"<?}?> ><label for="EmptyTemplate">..........</li>

becomes:

<li>........checked="checked"<?php } ?> ><label for="EmptyTemplate">..........</li>

Aram,
thanks for this post. This error happened after 2.3.1 rc2. On my version it was lines 58 and 59 that both needed the change.

Hi all,

This will only cause an error if short_open_tags is set to off, which is how it slipped through the cracks. We have since added automated tests that will attempt to parse the files with short_open_tags both off and on, which will stop this error from getting into a release in the future.

The fix will be released in 2.3.2; in the meantime everyone suffering from this problem should use Aram's fix.

Thanks,
Sam

Small correction:

file location is:

sapphire\dev\install

cheers Dave

Thanks Aram, I've never setup a SS site before so to find a problem in the install file didn't fill me with a lot of confidence from the get go.
Also, Thanks Sam for explaining the problem and putting it into context.

I was worried for a second there that I was going to have as much trouble as I did setting up a typo3 site!

Sound like this is a great support forum already!

thanks for the correction daveP, added to my original post :)

Hi Azul

Make sure you have changed both lines and that there are spaces inbetween the tags and the }. So it should be:

<?php[space]}[space]?>

that will work :)
