I wanted to synchronise the GEDCOM file my local computer with the one on the server and I've been downloading the zips to my local drive. When I went to open them, they all report as being damaged or having errors in the packed file.
Exported the raw .GED file and uploaded it to my local copy of PGV - a whole lot of errors came up and when I try to access the program this error comes up :
Parse error: parse error in G:\xampp\htdocs\PhpGed\index-----.GED_conf.php on line 55
Tried to reinstall but same error, comes up.
Any ideas.
Thank again

If the downloaded .ZIP file is corrupt, you can try to open it with a text editor (e.g. windows notepad). Often there is an error message visible at the end.
For your other error, it would be useful to see what line 55 looks like (and the surroundling lines).

Opened the latest downloaded zip file with notepad and it contained google ad stuff that the free host must have inserted into it at the top of the file.
I've now downloaded the zip file directly from the server and it's clean of that stuff and as it the .GED file. The zip opens up fine with WinRAR.
\index-----.GED_conf.php:
$CHARACTER_SET = "UTF-8"; //
(Line 55 ) $ENABLE_MULTI_LANGUAGE = ; //-
$MAX_PEDIGREE_GENERATIONS = "10"; //
$MAX_DESCENDANCY_GENERATIONS = "15"; //
$USE_RIN = false; // -
Hope that helps
Notice that $REQUIRE_AUTHENTICATION = false; on this file on the local and server copies - should it be set to true?

Depends how you want to control access to your site. Thats the result of your choice on the GEDCOM configuration panel for "Access and Privacy -> Require visitor authentication":
> Enabling this option will force all visitors to login before they can view any data on the site.

The errors must have been caused by the google stuff inserted by the free host in the original GEDCOM file.
There were other missing values in \index-----.GED_conf.php which I fixed up as they came along and have now successfully uploaded the current GEDCOM to my local computer from a copy downloaded directly from the server.
Please forgive me for my ignorance but can I confirm that I've got this right for maximum security and access.
Have made home/www/config.php read only (444). No need to touch this any more.
Have set /index folder to 777.
The changes that I make in the configuration options are written to the default location ./index/PEROMBELON.GED file (0644). Leave it at (0644)?
Sorry - Other New Error message received
ERROR 8: Undefined offset: 3
0 Error occurred on line 17 of file footer.php
I am using the standard theme and line 17 just has a *.
From the log file it first occurred either after a blocked crawler was detected or more likely after changes that I made to one of my guest Access only logins as it keeps appearing after I log out of the account:

Incidentally I know that it's matter of personal choice but as a general rule would you recommend turning this option off for editors as well as it seems to give them options that is out of the Administrator's control.
Can't thank you enough for your generous help and assistance.

Line 55 is missing a value. THere should be a true or false after the equals.
Thanks again for your prompt replies.
