 * I am installing WP for the first time and when I go to /install.php I get this
   error:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/content/t/o/d/toddsqueen/
   html/wordpress/wp-includes/feed.php on line 417
 * How can there be a Parse error in a php code that I did not alter at all? (/feed.
   php). I have only altered the wp-config.php file. What is wrong here? Thanks…

 * Try re-uploading the wp-includes folder from a **fresh** download of WordPress.

 * Darn…I already did that. I am using the latest version, 2.9.1. Anything else 
   to try?

 * Here is the line in feed.php it says has the syntax error:
 * echo apply_filters(‘atom_enclosure’, ‘<link href=”‘%20.%20trim(htmlspecialchars(
   $enclosure%5b0%5d))%20.%20′” rel=”enclosure” length=”‘ . trim($enclosure[1]) .‘”
   type=”‘ . trim($enclosure[2]) . ‘” />’ . “\n”);

 * Wow…I fixed it. Apparently GoLive changed href addresses if you drag files into
   the GoLive window. I didn’t know this…and it added some odd address based on 
   the desktop folder I had unpacked the WordPress files in. I should have known
   this but didn’t. I need to switch to Dreamweaver…does anyone still use GoLive??
   Thanks and sorry to take up the forum’s time…
