I’m helping a friend setup Gibbon for their school. They like the Free Learning pathway because it fits with their educational model.  
So we’re using v29.0.00 and after uploading the Free Learning v5.29.00 module, we get the infamous “Something has gone wrong: the Gibbons have escaped!” error message. Below is what’s in the error\_log file. Your assistance is appreciated.

error\_log file:  
[17-Aug-2025 10:59:10 America/New\_York] Uncaught Exception: ParseError - syntax error, unexpected identifier “Allows” in /home/XXXXXX/XXXXXX/modules/Free Learning/manifest.php on line 299

PHP Version: 8.2.29  
MySQL Version: 10.6.23
