Question

I’m trying to set up a Symfony dev platform on webfactionnal.
I’m using Git so when I download S2 I took th “without vendors” version and followed those instructions.

So everything went fine until step 8 :$ php bin/vendors install

I got several error messages when trying to execute this line on my server :

Warning: Wrong parameter count for parse_ini_file() in /home/quantum/webapps/quantumnetworks/bin/vendors on line 74

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in
/home/quantum/webapps/quantumnetworks/bin/vendors on line 79 sh:
./vendor/bundles/Sensio/Bundle/DistributionBundle/Resources/bin/build_bootstrap.php:
No such file or directory

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting
T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING or ‘(‘ in
/home/quantum/webapps/quantumnetworks/app/console on line 13

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting

all the files are originals.

By the way, in the the /config.php I had that error : unable to read logs file, I’ve put it on 777 on my server and realize that it was named as log instead of logs … why ?

Thanks !

T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING or ‘(‘ in
/home/quantum/webapps/quantumnetworks/app/console on line 13

EDIT : I run php54 command to use php 5.4 as my hosting company advised me. But i still have some errors ,It download evrything, then i have

Installing/Updating AsseticBundle

and then come the error :

So yeah were making progress, almost done 🙂

EDIT2 :

I called my host company, they said , when you execute a script in php, even if you type php54, the script itself, if it starts another script, won’t call it with the 5.4 version. TO fix that, here are the 4 steps :

cd ~/webapps<your application>
ln -s /usr/local/bin/php54 ./php
export PATH=./:$PATH
php54 bin/vendors install

need to do all of them

Answer 1

You are not using php 5.3, which is required to run Symfony2.

You can check on the console via

php -v

which version you currently use.

The T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING or '(' in [...] is usually a hint, as php prior to 5.3 does not support Namespaces, which leads to syntax errors in older versions.
