Here's a link to the real 5.7

https://github.com/concrete5/concrete5/archive/5.7.0-wip.zip...

It installs the same as any other fresh install.

Downloaded and copied objects in the web folder within the zip and when I visited the site ...still nothing. I did the same thing with the latest 5.6.1.2 version and it installed no problem. cant get the 5.7 install to work.

Got latest from github. Copy to my wampserver www directory. Go to browser and the dread blank screen.

I also have a production version of concrete in www and that one works flawlessly.

Yeah I just downloaded the git zip file and then went to the WEB/ sub directory and nothing but white screen...I think there is for sure an install issue for the git zip

PHP short tags?

Fantastic...you are correct my server did not have that set on...now I get the screen...on to setting up!
I am running WAMPSERVER 2.4 and the PHP setting was not set.

NOTE: Set Short Open Tag PHP setting!

I did have to set some folder security in my windows 8.1 laptop.
then with db created I begin install....
also had to enable extension PHP_CURL

UPDATE! It worked I am up and running 5.7...git version

Short tags was the fix. Why the change?

I assume it's an over-site and the fact that 5.7 is still a WIP/Beta. There are 15 files that start with:

<?  defined('C5_EXECUTE') or die("Access Denied.");

The protocol on Github used to be that everything was short tags and then automatically translated to full tags for released builds (because it saved some developers a few keystrokes).

Its not a policy I personally agree with and there has been some discussion about one standard for all in the past.

Maybe that is changing, but I haven't seen anything documenting such a change.

Good point, this is a WIP and I did not have any issues with short tags from any production ready versions. (they probably didn't have short tags)

Just the blood of the bleeding edge...
