Description of my issue:

I've just upgraded from svn1732 to 3.6.8, and I want to create a test site.
When running the kickstart it unpacks, and restores the db, as far as I can see at it should.
But when I try to load the front I get this error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '"' in /home/dkdbdk/test/configuration.php on line 14
Line 14 is the password line for the DB, I've changed the password to something else, and now it works, very strange.
I didn't see anything 'wrong' in the password line and it was properly entered through the ABI, and ABI also did the DB restore.

Best regards Kenneth

This is a known issue with passwords containing a dollar sign. The bug was reported yesterday and I fixed it, however a new release is withheld until early November. The reason is that there is a viable workaround (change the password), making the bug a medium priority one which does not trigger an emergency bugfix release.
