Hi there,

Received a similar error on Debian Wheezy 7.0. The errors are probably related 
to php5.4.

Removing the & in /var/www/pdns-gui/batch/install.php on line 152 solved the 
1st problem. See also http://stackoverflow.com/a/8971301

* Another error came up: Configuration file 
"/var/www/pdns-gui.0.3.3/config/../data/symfony/config/php.yml" specifies key 
"magic_quotes_runtime" which is not a php.ini directive.

* Removing that directive led to the next error: Configuration file 
"/var/www/pdns-gui.0.3.3/config/../data/symfony/config/php.yml" specifies key 
"zend.ze1_compatibility_mode" which is not a php.ini directive.

* Removing that directive led to the next error: Configuration file 
"/var/www/pdns-gui.0.3.3/config/../data/symfony/config/php.yml" specifies key 
"magic_quotes_gpc" which is not a php.ini directive.

* Removing that directive led to the next error: Configuration file 
"/var/www/pdns-gui.0.3.3/config/../data/symfony/config/php.yml" specifies key 
"register_globals" which is not a php.ini directive.

* Removing that directive made it look promising :D A website was loading and 
then "Application failed to initialized correctly. Please reload in a few 
moments, and if this message apears again, contact our support team."

* But..during install I ran into this: PHP Strict Standards:  Declaration of 
UnixFileSystem::getBooleanAttributes() should be compatible with 
FileSystem::getBooleanAttributes($f) in 
/var/www/pdns-gui.0.3.3/lib/symfony/vendor/phing/system/io/UnixFileSystem.php 
on line 266
Buildfile: /var/www/pdns-gui.0.3.3/lib/symfony/vendor/propel-generator/build.xml

It seems to me php5.4 is a bit farfetched for pdns-gui.0.3.3 ;-) 
The symfony plugin for Propel needs to be adjusted too for this to work.
