thought I did everything right

[andreas]

the only thing I get is this

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '{' in C:\xampp\htdocs\CalemEAM\index.php on line 55

can anybody help?

[calemadmin]

A couple of logs to check:
- php error logs
- calem logs (under CalemEAM/logs/calem.log)

(in my xampplite installation on windows, php error log is:
C:\xampplite\apache\logs\phperror.log)

[andreas]

did that, but there are no log files in C:\xampp\htdocs\CalemEAM\logs
and the error log C:\xampp\apache\logs is like this:

[calemadmin]

You may want to fix the character set error msg below first. The encoding used by CalemEAM is: utf8_general_ci

Did the parse error below show when you use your browser to use CalemEAM? If so, which log did you see the parse error?

[andreas]

and how do I fix the character set error?

[calemadmin]

It's not clear how to fix the character set error. Another look at the error msg , it seemed you might have another sql server installed under c:\mysql

Since you're using xampp you may need to make sure that the sql server coming with xampp is running. You can review services from Windows to remove all mySQL services and then use xampp to verify that no sql server is running. Next use xampp to start apache/mysql.

[andreas]

I can assure there is no other SQL server running on this machine

[calemadmin]

Okay, you may check out mySQL conf file (it's C:\xampplite\mysql\bin\my in my xampplite install) to see if there's any reference to c:\mysql\share\charsets
