 * I wish to set up another wordpress theme on one of my domains, dipeshparmar.com.
   After doing the 5min install, created the database and changed the wp-config-
   sample.php file, uploaded to my domain, all fine. When i type [http://dipeshparmar.com/blog/wp-admin/install.php](http://dipeshparmar.com/blog/wp-admin/install.php)
   I get an error message ‘Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/
   dipeshpa/public_html/blog/wp-config.php on line 28’. I reinstalled wordpress,
   tried it all again, checked the code on wp-config.php, but I had the same problem.
   So i tested the problem on my other domain, dvpwebdesign.com. and installed and
   ran it all in exactly the same way, used [http://dvpwebdesign.com/blog/wp-admin/install.php](http://dvpwebdesign.com/blog/wp-admin/install.php)
   and it works fine, using the same wp-config.php file! Why can’t i get [http://dipeshparmar.com/blog/wp-admin/install.php](http://dipeshparmar.com/blog/wp-admin/install.php)
   to work?

 * Do not create a wp-config.php file. Let the install process create it for you
   instead.
