Hi folks.

I tried installing ez Publish using the FreeBSD installer. It failled with the next message:

line 30: syntax error. "(" unexpected...

or something similar...

Does anyone know what happen?

Which shell are you using? csh?

I can reproduce the error you got by using csh as my shell.

csh%./install.sh
./install.sh: 30: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

However the freebsd installer requires bash (/usr/local/bin/bash) or else it won't work. If you don't have the bash shell installed you can find it in the ports collection.

Thanks Ole.

I discovered it two days ago, but then I decided install it manually.

Now I have another problem, why can't I see the images??
