I encountered this error when migrating some old code to a new server:

Warning: syntax error, unexpected BOOL_TRUE in Unknown on line 1 in test.php on line 3

It turns out that as of PHP 5.3 strings that contain spaces in .ini files should be enclosed in double quotes.

WAMP Server – Aestan Tray Menu Error

admin — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 16:07:17 +0000

Having installed WAMP many times, I encountered the following error right after installation on a Windows XP machine.

“Aestan Tray Menu has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.”

Error signature:
AppName: wampmanager.exe AppVer: 1.6.1.33 ModName: kernel32.dll
ModVer: 5.1.2600.5781 Offset: 00012afb

Once I had installed the latest windows updates including the latest .net framework WAMP loaded fine.

F17 Error on Bosch Washer Dryer – When Drying

admin — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 15:59:52 +0000

I’ve put this post here after having a torrid time with my Bosch WVD24520GB washing machine over Christmas. The thing seemed to wash and spin but upon commensing the drying stage it brought up an “F17″ error approximately 1 minute through the drying process. After spending hours looking for ways to fix the problem online I was amazed to see that nobody knew how to fix it.

After spending hours cleaning filters, changing pipes and checking for kinks (as per the manual), I found out that my machine was just within Bosch’s 2 year warranty. Phew. I do however feel for the people who have encountered this error who are out of warranty as it took the Bosch engineer no less than 5 call outs to fix the problem.

After replacing the pump, valves and numerous removals of fluff from the condenser/sump, it strangly turned out to be the control unit on the front. Once this was changed the thing works like a dream.

Hopefully this helps someone. Please note the machine was washing and spinning fine and only had problems during drying – if you are having the same problem then replacing the control unit and valve using parts from a site like espares should fix the problem.
