Problem in emoncms - getting started

Emoncms Installation
#1

I already changed the file settings.php :

'phpfiwa'=>array(
            'datadir'=>"C:\wamp64\www\emoncms\Lib\emoncmsdata\phpfina"
        ),
        'phpfina'=>array(
            'datadir'=>"C:\wamp64\www\emoncms\Lib\emoncmsdata\phpfiwa"
        ),
        'phptimeseries'=>array(
        'datadir'=>"C:\wamp64\www\emoncms\Lib\emoncmsdata\phptimeseries"
        ),
             'cassandra'=>array(
            'keyspace' => 'emoncms'

and

$log_filename = dirname(__FILE__).'C:\wamp64\www\emoncms' . "emoncms.log"

and in the file process_settings.php:

if(file_exists(dirname(c:\wamp64\www\emoncms).  "settings.php"))

but I get an error

 Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ':' in C:\wamp64\www\emoncms\process_settings.php on line 19

and i not could get a registration in emoncms

Hi Joaquim,
Can you try doubling those backslashes, so:
C:\\wamp64\\www\\emoncms\\Lib…
(or have you already and it’s just the forum showing single).
However, your error mentions line 19 - in the standard setup, that’s the REDIS config.
Thanks,
Sandy

I agree with SandyB’s suggestion

'phpfiwa'=>array(
            'datadir'=>"C:\\wamp64\www\emoncms\\Lib\\emoncmsdata\\phpfina"
        ),
        'phpfina'=>array(
            'datadir'=>"C:\\wamp64\\www\\emoncms\\Lib\\emoncmsdata\\phpfiwa"
        ),
        'phptimeseries'=>array(
        'datadir'=>"C:\\wamp64\\www\\emoncms\\Lib\\emoncmsdata\\phptimeseries"
        ),
             'cassandra'=>array(
            'keyspace' => 'emoncms'

(the forum doesn’t need the backslashes escaped when in a code block)

As for the logfile path, your edit will probably result in

C:\\path\\to\\emoncms\\C:\wamp64\www\emoncmsemoncms.log

try reverting that to

$log_filename = dirname(__FILE__) . "\\emoncms.log"

or something like

$log_filename = "C:\\wamp64\\www\\emoncms\\emoncms.log"

for an absolute path

I do not understand why you have edited process_settings.php, that is a relative path derived from the “FILE” path and should work ok in windows.
