This says it cannot find analyze.php where you said it was.  You must double
and triple check the placement of the file and the include_once statement
until you find the problem.  Check for spelling and punctuation errors.  Are
quotes closed?  You would not get this message even if analyze.php were
perfect nonsense.

Make sure the file has the proper permissions for pmwiki.php to find it. 755
should work for unix-like systems; if you have another kind of OS, you'll
have to figure it out how to give it similar permisions to scripts in the
script directory or other cookbook recipies you are using that you know are
working.

The most likely cause of this is a white-space character before the <?php
tag or after the ?> in one of the scripts.

The answers to this usually are: never use ?> in scripts you may write or
edit (it is unecessary in scripts like this, and should only be used in
documents where php and html are mixed) and if you cut and paste into a
blank or existing document, double check that there is nothing before the
<?php

You don't happen to have two <?php in config.php do you?

Just installed and tried it.  Worked like a charm.  You can also use it
per page without the form by browsing yourpageurl?action=analyze?key=secret

where secret is whatever you entered for $AnalyzeKey.

If your server is local so you can easily check the httpd error log, it may
be useful to use it per page until things are debugged to the point that
there are no errors in the log.


Best guess: quote not closed by matching quote in config.php
