# install.php Error

 * I apologize in advance if this problem has been resolved somewhere else. I’m 
   new to WP and not a programmer but I’m willing and ready to get my hands “dirty”–
   so to speak… I have set up a local server using MAMP on my laptop. I have everything
   running smoothly.
 * I wanted to move a test site from one local directory to another as a test. I
   found your plugin and I’m really excited about it. I was able to install it easily
   and create the install.php and the zip package.
 * When I go to the new directory and click on install.php, I get the following 
   error message:
 * Warning: Unexpected character in input: ” (ASCII=25) state=0 in /Users/flo/Sites/
   kaiizen_local/installer.php on line 149
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘4’ (T_LNUMBER) in /Users/flo/Sites/kaiizen_local/
   installer.php on line 149
 * Could you please help me figure this out… I’m a bit over my head…
 * Thank you!!!

 * No 🙁 and it’s on my local machine so I cant give you a temporary cPanel and 
   WP Admin account as you requested… It’s ok though, I worked around it. Thank 
   you!

 * Most definitely not the most efficient way to go about it but I simply started
   over…
