I am attempting to run a fresh install of version 1.4.12. I FTPed the files over, changed ./inc/config.default.php to ./inc/config.php, and performed CHMOD to 666 on ./inc/config.php and ./inc/settings.php. I performed CHMOD to 777 on
./cache/
./cache/themes/
./uploads/
./uploads/avatars/

When I try to install by browsing to http://www.fansofrevolution.com/MyBB/install/ I get this message:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in /homepages/28/d294972122/htdocs/MyBB/inc/functions.php on line 5605

I looked at the code before line 5605 of functions.php, I don't see any problems.

Thanks,
Ernie

Is your host running PHP 4?? A change made for 1.4.12 is incompatible with PHP 4. You should really find a host running PHP 5 if they are, PHP 4 is old and MyBB 1.6 will only work on PHP 5.1+
