Error during install of 0.17
Tue, 24/03/2009 - 22:19
I am getting this error during the Install process of PP 0.17. PHP version is 3 and I am having it upgraded to 5.0 or better. Could this be the version issue or is it something else? Any ideas, appreciated.

Same error for me with PHP 5
I'm getting the same error. I've reinstalled ProsePoint and dumped the database tables. I'm going to try completely deleting the database and starting fresh.
Would there be any advantage to installing the previous version of ProsePoint; i.e., version 0.16? If that's successful, then try upgrading to 0.17?
I was thinking maybe it was my hosting provider, which is GoDaddy, but I do have other Drupal sites running and haven't had any problems.
If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.

Further question
I was looking through the ProsePoint ChangeLog and noticed in version 0.15 an upgrade to content_taxonomy 6.x-1.0beta6, which, from the error, seems to be a possible culprit.
I'm sure the module is important. I was wondering if I should try using the latest development snapshot posted at Drupal.org, replacing what's included with ProsePoint.
Another option would be to go back to 0.14 of ProsePoint but I'm not sure what features I would miss, if that would even solve the problem I'm having.
Just a thought...

Hi amroz,
If you are getting
Hi amroz,
If you are getting the same error as the original post, then please check your PHP version.
The quoted line from content_taxonomy.module, line 434 is using a syntax that is available from PHP 5.0 onwards. However, content_taxonomy is a red herring here, because if your PHP version is lower than 5.0, other things in ProsePoint will break anyway.
And, there is no advantage in installing older versions of ProsePoint and then upgrading. You should install from the latest if you can.
Hi,
Sorry, PHP 5.x is required for ProsePoint. After you've changed your hosting to run PHP 5.x, please empty out your database and start again from a completely clean install.
