Installing EZPublish 4.3 on 1and1.com Hosting - I'm getting this error

Tuesday 31 August 2010 12:46:01 pm

Hi all,

Ok, I just downloaded EZ Publish 4.3 and uploaded it to my host directory on 1and1.com. On 1and1 I have the Linux Hosting package and the scripts supported are Perl, Python, PHP4, PHP5, PHP6 (beta).

I type in my domain name and this error comes up:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ',', expecting '(' in /homepages/14/d301117969/htdocs/boystown411/index.php on line 108

I have Joomla running on another site with this same hosting with no problems(I dont know if that means anything but it's more info)

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Chris,

This is the version I downloaded: ezpublish-4.3.0-full-with_ezc-gpl.zip

I have uploaded the zip file and unzipped on the 1and1 server and got the error message and I also extracted the files on my local machine then sent them to the hosting server via FTP and also got the same error message.

I also tried the light version and uploaded it both ways and again the same error. I'm really looking forward to trying out EZ but this part is a little frustrating. I just downloaded WinSCP and am uploading the full version with it so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Thanks for the help.

Jackson

Update: Ugh. Just tried the one I uploaded via WinSCP and unfortunately the same error message.

Any other suggestions?

Yep, thats my bet too now.
I think you have somehow "configured" php4 to this virtualhost which you intent to let ezpublish run.

Can you check that you have enabled php5 for this domain you are trying to run ezpublish?
Another way would be to get php_info output and see what version it is (as Ivo mentioned).

file: phpinfo.php

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Ahhhh! That did it! :-)

I called 1and1.com and they originally had me just add this line to the .htaccess_root file:

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

And they told me to change the name of the file to .htaccess but then it was giving me a 403 error. They then told me to change that file back to it's original condition then create a new .htaccess with just the above line of code and add that to my files on the server.

Now the EZ Publish setup page is up and running!

Thank everyone for your help!
