 * Try to access the file via FTP or your host’s admin panel (cPanel) and do the
   necessary correction(s) . Alternatively replace this file with a copy of the 
   original file .
    It that sounds to “tech” let us know .

 * As you wish , but usually this kind of configurations are made by the owner or
   the web-developer of the site .

 * OK where do you get the original file from though? I made the corrections to 
   the file where I thought it was necessary, but it still shows up with the Parse
   error
