** If you can, please create one issue entry per error **

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. connect to 127.0.0.1:3000
2. error
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
my booru homepage

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.0.5, php 5.4.9, xampp, ubuntu linux 12.04

Please provide any additional information below.
I configured my imouto booru and when I started it I first came into the error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ''192.168.1.1'' 
(T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING), expecting ']' in 
/opt/lampp/htdocs/myimouto/config/application.php on line 32
so I deleted all "safe-ips" from application.php but 127.0.0.1

when I reloaded 127.0.0.1:3000 I got this error:

UPDATE: I tried manually creating myimouto/log/error.log and now I get this 
error:

 Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'version' (T_STRING) in /opt/lampp/htdocs/myimouto/app/views/exception/500.php on line 1

UPDATE_2: I did some research on stack overflow, apparently I have to turn 
short_open_tag off in php.ini (there are 3 occurrences of it BTW) (Also, should 
you put that on the install guide? Idk. I think it's on by default, because I 
didn't change it)

Now I just get "Error Occurred." as error.
It's like some kind of sick game
Each level is more difficult than the one before
Will it ever end?
Please help me! Thank you.

problem almost impossible. But I'm smarter than whoever is trolling me and

I think the most relevant part here is 
mkdir(): Permesso negato
Permesso negato is italian for Permission denied

So this all could be just a permission problem
But I have the ownership of htdocs AND subfolders
should I chmod -R 777 on it?

Original comment by ainselvi...@gmail.com on 25 Oct 2013 at 7:10

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The system doesn't have permissions to write files. Try giving it permissions 
for log, install, tmp and public folders.

The first error on "safe_ips" was a parse error. I can reproduce the problem by 
omitting a comma in an array:

[ 'foo' 'bar' ]

while it should be like this:

[ 'foo', 'bar' ]

Apparently you forgot the comma while listing your IP~

About short open tags, there was another report about the same error (I set the 
issue as "done" some days ago, so it's not listed by default anymore). The 
thing is I didn't think about short tags being turned on in some systems.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

(Why did you remove your comment?)

I have a similar problem with my Ubuntu VM. Apache2 has its own user called 
www-data, but then I manipulate files with my user... so sometimes my user 
creates a folder, but www-data can write files on it. Or something like that.

Appliying "sudo chmod 777 -R folder" through console solves this, although 
that's not the most professional fix.

Thank you for your advice. About the safe_ips array, having made such a mistake 
is a bit embarassing because I'm a programmer (Java).
Giving permissions DID resolve the problem, but after seeing the config screen 
(finally! It took me 3 days to configure everything like xampp, ubuntu, vnc, 
ssh etc)
and entering username and password I get

The corresponding file for that image (public/data/image/4e/b4/4eb4....jpg) 
exists, and if you go to that address the image is loaded succesfuly, but when 
you go to the view page (/post/show/...) the image isn't displayed?

Can you check what is the URL created for the image in the corresponding <img> 
tag?

I think the problem is what you said before, there's no http:// so it thinks 
127.0.0.1:3000 is a subdirectory 

Original comment by ainselvi...@gmail.com on 25 Oct 2013 at 11:18

[GoogleCodeExporter]

That's a malformed URL, it's missing the scheme (https://). That URL is 
appended to the current URL, so it ends up being something like noted in the 
errors above:

http://127.0.0.1/post/show/2/tags/127.0.0.1/data/sample......jpg.

The problem resides in the config. Please check and double check it.
