parse error T_STRING // installation problems!!

  • Hello

    I need some help, the support documents have not answered my question. When I try to run the install.php script I get this error message:

    Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/virtual/site122/fst/var/www/html/blog/wp-config.php on line 5

    I have double checked my quotation marks and semicolons. What should I do now?

    Thanks
    ben

  • There is still something wrong in that line:

    define('DB_PASSWORD', 'whatever'); // ...and password

    this is my code on the first part

    <?php
    // ** MySQL settings ** //
    define('DB_NAME', 'blog'); // The name of the database
    define('DB_USER', 'xxxxxxxx’); // Your MySQL username
    define('DB_PASSWORD', 'xxxxxxx'); // ...and password
    define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value

    could it mean that the password is incorrect?

    At the end of the DB user xxxxx that’s not a single quote – it’s an accent!

    Wow, thanks! I would never have seen that. I will see if that works. Thank you for your help.
