Hi,
I get the following error on installation:
"
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /homepages/18/d84696650/htdocs/Omeka/application/libraries/Omeka/Core.php on line 14
"
My ISP is 1&1, a german-based company
Any advice would be welcome
Alan
Hi Alan, what version of Omeka are you running?
Hi Dave
Version 0.9.0, it says.
A
My PhP version is 4.4.8.
Can I run Omeka on this version?
Is it possible that this is the cause of the problem?
A
That's causing your problems. I checked the 1&1 hosting website, and they do support PHP4,PHP5. Without using 1&1 personally, i know many shared hosting services allow you to change your PHP version in an admin panel, or by contacting their staff. Good luck.
OK I checked with 1&1 - apparently although my package does include PhP5, because I started my subscription before it was introduced, I do not have access to it. I'll work this out with them and then try again.
Thanks
A
The problem is caused because 1&1 runs both PhP4 and PhP5 in parallel, and PhP4 is chosen by default.
1&1 FAQ says that code can be forced to run as PhP5 in one of two ways:
(1) if the php code itself has the extension .php5
(2) if the following line is added to the .htaccess file:
AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
When I put this line in the .htaccess for the root, the installation process starts correctly (though it generates errors further on - I will check whether additional htaccess files are needed in subdirectories or includes)
This seems to me of general interest - there must be quite a few servers running 2 versions of PhP.
A
Right.
The problem now is the following. I am directed to start the install process. An error is generated as follows (after turning debugging on):

Please refer to Omeka documentation for help.
AF: the statement
SHOW TABLES LIKE 'omeka_%'
works fine from within PhPMyAdmin
