 * Hi there,
 * Can’t activate the plugin. Got an error message such as:
 * ” Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
    Parse error:
   syntax error, unexpected ‘[‘ in /clientdata/apache-www/b/r/brainpowertraining.
   com.au/www/newsite/wp-content/plugins/fast-velocity-minify/fvm.php on line 778”
 * Any idea?
 * Thanks in advance.
    Deba

 * Your PHP is reading the file, but it’s either corrupted, or somehow it’s not 
   able to read the object from `wp_upload_dir`.
 * I can see you’re using LiteSpeed, which could be related.
    Unfortunately I haven’t
   tested the plugin using Litespeed myself, but I know that some users are using
   Litespeed without issues.
 * What PHP version are you running?
    What Operating System and version are you 
   running?

 * Hi Raul,
 * Thanks for quick reply.
 * PHP version is 5.3.29 and the operating system is Windows 7.
 * Any other alternative ways to activate?
 * Thank you.

 * Windows is not officially supported by the plugin, but kindly try version 2.2.7
   and see if it works.
 * I have probably fixed that particular error you got, but there may be others 
   because of windows and your old PHP version.
 * I would suggest you to get a linux hosting for the site, since nowadays you can
   get hosted from less than $5. Linux is also the recommended hosting for WordPress.
 * Thanks,
 * Raul Peixoto
