that doesn’t seem to be an issue – I still get the error message.

Well that is wierd…I didn’t notice that, but looking and this is what is on the wp-config.php file:

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

// You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique prefix
$table_prefix = ‘wp_’;
// Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!

// Change this to localize WordPress.
A corresponding MO file for the
// chosen language must be installed to wp-includes/languages.
//

/* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__).’/’);
require_once(ABSPATH.’wp-settings.php’);
?>

and the error is now:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/illusive/public_html/blog/wp-config.php on line 19

I’m still waiting to see if someone can help me with this installation.

I currently use MT but am told WordPress is better so I would like to check it out myself but can’t get past this error and I am scratching my head bald over this.

Can anyone help me please?

I am having the same issue my error is:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/illusive/public_html/blog/wp-config.php on line 6

Here is the actual text of wp-config.php”
<?php
