 * I tried to install wordpress, but it gave me this error code: Parse error: syntax
   error, unexpected ‘{‘ in /var/www/html/clubsecondocasadei.com/www/htdocs/c2c/
   wp-includes/functions.php on line 2872

 * [@fabbro03](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fabbro03/): It sounds like that
   file may have been truncated during the transfer to the server, so I suggest 
   you try uploading it again to see if the parse error goes away then.

 * I’m getting exactly the same problem. Downloaded twice (to a linux system using
   wget), and get the same error.

 * [@fabbro03](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fabbro03/),
 * Why are you using an old version of WordPress? Were you aware that your site 
   is currently running a very real risk of being hacked? You need to upgrade WordPress
   asap.
 * 4.5.3 fixes several security issues and bugs.
 * – try **MANUALLY** updating. Download a fresh copy of the WordPress .zip file
   to your computer, unzip it, and use that to copy up all files and folders **EXCEPT
   the wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory.** You may need to delete
   the old wp-admin and wp-includes folders and files on your server before uploading
   the new ones. Please read the [Manual Update](http://codex.wordpress.org/Updating_WordPress#Manual_Update)
   directions first.
    – Also, make sure all your plugins and themes are up to date.–**
   Backup: If you haven’t already done, always backup everything (including your
   database) before doing any actions, just in case something really goes wrong.**
