Delete all files in /templates_c and try loading the page again. If that fails, then you will need to replace the default theme (according to the error, thats the one your using) with a fresh copy.

There shouldn't be any code in your theme.html file. Check to see that there isn't and let us know.

Alternately as a test, try a different theme, but you will still need to delete all files in your /templates_c folder. (this is safe to do anytime)

I did a little checking and found that the
offending line in the generate default^theme.html file
where the line came from the
default/theme.html file and it corresponds to the
line <{if $xoops_showcblock == 1}> in the theme.html file.

There are two occurences of <{if $xoops_showcblock == 1}>
in the theme.html file and similarly, map to two
in the generated file.

I tried to delete the two if and the endif from the
theme.html file and it generated the default^theme.html
file which could be used when I loaded the home page.
Of course the page looks funny with things dislocated.

Any idea why the <{if $xoops_showcblock == 1}> would
generate the line ? as if the "if" with
no condition to check.

Oh, also, I checked the theme.html file and there
is no "" anywhere in there.

Also, tried another theme phpkaox and the exact same
behavior with the <{if $xoops_showcblock == 1}> generating
the offending in the generated file.

I wonder if there is anything else I am missing
in the php.ini file that could have caused this.


Steve, I have moved this discussion to Installation
Troubleshooting forum since I thought that would be a
more suitable place as it falls into that category.
