Joe, there are three parts to this message. The first one describes what my problem is boiling down to right now. The other two parts you don't have to read but I am including them anyways to document the problems I encountered above and the way I "fixed" them. Thanks again. Julio.
Part I #########
When installing the program I get the following error message:
Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in C:\wamp\www\account\includes\session.inc on line 136
I copy below the code that appears in Line 136:
$Ajax =& new Ajax();
Part II #############
In my last message I mentioned getting the following error message:
Error: It appears the Absolute path that you entered is incorrect
In fact there was nothing wrong with the absolute path. What happened was that the computer was searching (as indicated in the save.php file) for the en_US-demo.sql file, which I had taken out of the path. Instead I had put the en_SG-new2.sql file, but was not careful enough to update the references in the save.php file. When I did update the references I no longer got a message about the absolute path being wrong, but I got the same error message as above:
Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in C:\wamp\www\account\includes\session.inc on line 136
Part III ###################
I also tried installing the program with each of the newly uploaded files that you suggested me. This time I made sure that the references in the save.php file were correct. Then I hit "Install FrontAccounting". The computer had no problem in locating the database for the corresponding company. However, I started getting a many error messages regarding the way the data was entered. I "corrected" all these errors [see (*) below] until I hit the same deadend:
Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in C:\wamp\www\account\includes\session.inc on line 136
/////////////////////////
(*) This documents my problems and "fixes" when working with the en_US-demo.sql database. For each error type I put first the tables involved, then the error messages, and finally the modifications I introduced to "solve" the corresponding errors. A friend of mine (Aldy) tells me that these errors might be due to an incompatibility in the versions of the software I was using versus the softwares the programs were ment for. I really don't know. I just went for the quick fixes detailed below:
### Data of table `0_bank_trans` ###
Error: SQL script execution failed in line 102: Incorrect date
value: '' for column 'reconciled' at row 1
Instead of the '' values, put NULL. Do the samething with all other rows of that table.
### Data of table `0_gl_trans` ###
Error: SQL script execution failed in line 704: Incorrect integer value: '' for column 'person_type_id' at row 1
Instead of the '' values, put '0'. Do the samething with all the remaining rows of that table for which 'person_type_id' was assigned a value of ''.
### Data of table `0_users` ###
Error: SQL script execution failed in line 1827: Incorrect datetime value: '' for column 'last_visit_date' at row 1
Instead of the '' value, put '2009-06-21 13:57:38' (I just copied the date from the previous entry).
