    • Unexpected character in setup.sh

    Posted by Reuven posts: 4 USA

    __Hi,
    I'm trying to install tiki-11.0 on Hostgator.
    When I run setup.sh through putty I receive an error:__
    ---------
    studentp at studentpla.net ~/public_html/wiki# bash setup.sh

    Warning: Unexpected character in input: '\' (ASCII=92) state=1 in - on line 395

    1. !/usr/bin/env php

    Some settings on your machine make Composer unable to work properly.
    Make sure that you fix the issues listed below and run this script again:

    The phar extension is missing.
    Install it or recompile php without --disable-phar

    Your PHP (5.2.17) is too old, you must upgrade to PHP 5.3.2 or higher.

    We have failed to obtain the composer executable.
    NB: Maybe you are behing a proxy, just export https_proxy variable and relaunch setup.sh
    1) Download it from http://getcomposer.org
    2) Store it in temp/
    ============

    I asked Hostgator to help and their answer below:
    -----------
    I was able to run the script by manually downloading composer for it. There is a fatal error when running the script but it continues to run past the error. I do not know if this error will hinder what the script is attempting to do since I quit the program before doing anything.

    Thank you Tom.
    Actually the PHP Version is 5.3.27. I do not know why it considered it as 5.2.17.
    Anyway, I succeeded to run the script. It fixed automatically a few problems and it seems that Tiki is OK now.

    Perhaps the command line version of PHP is different?

    Try:

    Copy to clipboard
    php -v

    I quite new to all this. I asked HostGator support to help. They did something but I don't know exactly what they did. you can read their answer above.
    I run again putty and attached the log for your consideration.
    Thank you very much for your help.

    OK, they must have upgraded your PHP version on the command line.

    Composer seems to want to run but you don't need it because you got Tiki from a .zip which contains everything.

    If you ignore that error and proceed, does the site work?

    Thank you Marc

    In my previous response I attached a new PUTTY session with no complaints about PHP version or Composer.

    Right now, it seems that Tiki is running quite well.
