Hello all, Recently I tried to install media wiki on my server. I have php 5.2.12 I wasn't sure if I needed 5.3.1 as a minimum or if there was an earlier version that worked with php 5.2.x I got this error when I browsed to the folder after uploading the software:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /home2/words/public_html/wordopedia/install-utils.inc on line 118 I put it in a folder that I renamed wordopedia. Any ideas? Bruce
It seems you renamed the maintenance directory.. that should be kept as the same name, MediaWiki uses has a structure that needs to be kept, or it starts breaking things, because stuff is not where it thinks it is..
Your PHP version should be fine, see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Installation_requirements
