Hello,
I'm a complete SS noob and am trying to install it on my webserver provider Hostmonster.com. I called their support to double check that their servers meet all the requirements and they are running Apache servers with MySQL 4.1+ and PHP 5+.
After uploading the contents of the extracted "silverstripe-v2.2.2" folder into the root directory of my domain and then visiting it with a Firefox browser, the following error appears:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /home/{main_domain}/public_html/{subdomain}/install.php on line 518
Any idea how I proceed from here? All documentation seems to take for granted that dumping the files into the root and visiting the domain will make things work. So I'm not sure what i can troubleshoot. I've tried opening the install.php file in Dreamweaver to look at line 518 but all it says is "protected &baseDIR;"
I'd greatly appreciate any help with this. I'm anxious to get my site up and running and SilverStripe looks like a really great way to manage and grow it.
