 * I got a Parse error too, when I attempted to go to wp-admin/upgrade.php.
 * Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/4/4/9/1920/1920/public_html/
   blog/wp-config.php on line 14
 * This is after I put the “secret key” in the config. file as the sample config.
   php file said to do. I didn’t do anything with wp-includes/languages because 
   I don’t have the file.
 * I am going to reload wp-admin and wp-includes and see if that clears it up.
 * Sorry I can’t give you more help.
