 * I am having problems installing WP on my site. I don’t know why, as I’ve installed
   three before. I am getting
 * `Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home2/`<domainname>`/public_html/
   blog/wp-includes/version.php on line 14`
 * How do I fix this? I’ve tried re-installing several times, but each time it gives
   me this error. I’ve tried re-downloading, then reinstalling, but to no avail.
