Parse Error in wordpress fresh install.

Try upload wp-admin folder via ftp from fresh download.

Hi,
I have tried that. no luck ??

Can you please post the line 42 of your /wp-admin/index.php?

$help .= '<p>' . __('Links in the Toolbar at the top of the screen connect your dashboard and the front end of your site, and provide access to your profile and helpful WordPress information.') . '</p>';

Are you using a custom theme or a modified functions.php?

no I am not using any custom theme. Its a fresh wp install. no modified functions as well.

1. I downloaded the wp 3.3.1 from www.ads-software.com
2. uploaded it in sureskumar.com/noart/
3. created the mysql db and entered those values in sureskumar.com/noart/
4. Now the site sureskumar.com/noart/ works fine. But I am not able to login to wp-admin.

I have created more than 2 wp sites earlier so I am sure I am not going wrong in the procedure. In the same domain sureskumar.com and sureskumar.com/nodotart/ are also wp sites which works fine.

Is there a problem in having more than 2 sites wp sites under one domain ? any php memory issues ??

Is there a problem in having more than 2 sites wp sites under one domain ?

No. I run about 4 sites under one of my domains

any php memory issues ?

Nope. Neither is there anything wrong with the line you posted above. The most likely cause is a corrupted copy of that file though.

I also suspected that. So I download another fresh version of 3.3.1 and uploaded. Still no luck. Now I am trying to upload older versions of wp. Just a try. Will let you guys know what happens. something weird right?

Very weird.

Even uploading the old versions of wp doesn’t work. Any idea what might be happening. I have no idea how to proceed further.

Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks

And I also tried creating a diff database username and password specifically for this site. and still no luck ??

I would follow these steps;

* Remove any other WordPress installations on that domain and make sure multiple installations are not causing any problems.

* As far as I see, you have installed WordPress to a separate directory, which is actually fine. Just to make sure this is not the origin of the problem I would install WordPress to the main directory where your domain points. In your case https://sureskumar.com

No, the other two sites are live and cant be removed even for testing. I have to figure out a method to troubleshoot this without touching other sites. anyways as you mentioned, I have installed this in a new dir. so technically there shouldn’t be any issue.

Is there any better way to debug php sites ?

* Check your server logs to see if there are any errors.
* If you use cPanel you can find the logs under the logs section.
* The last option is to contact the hosting company and see if they can help you.
