 * I have uploaded all of my files to a root directory on my site’s server. When
   I try to run the install I get the following error
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/yourlowm/public_html/
   blog/wp-config.php on line 14
 * Any thoughts on how to fix this?
 * Thanks

 * yes, look at line 14 of that file.
 * thats one of the secret key lines.
 * make sure that the single quotes are where they need to be and that the line 
   is closed with a `;` and that its all on one line.

 * I have the same problem. Mine is on line 17.
 * I’ve checked the semi colons and made sure there are no spaces at beginning and
   end of the whole file. There are no dangling quote marks, either. So I’m not 
   sure what other syntax probs to look at. I deleted the comments that come with
   the file, but i was careful to only delete the stuff after the \\. So I don’t
   know what else to check. someone mentioned this was a problem with 2.6?
 * Oh, maybe you can answer this for me:
 * Shouldn’t there be a semi-colon at the end of the first line here as follows:
 * if ( !defined(‘ABSPATH’) )
    define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/’); require_once(
   ABSPATH . ‘wp-settings.php’);
 * I tried putting one there, but I still get the error message.
    I take it out,
   and I still get the error message. It doesn’t seem to make a difference.
