Upgrading 1.4.8 to latest 1.6

I uploaded the files to the server (except /inc/settings.php) for upgrade.

Forum is located at legosinparadise.org/lipforum

entered: .../install/upgrade.php

I get this message:

Quote:Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /home/content/c/o/a/coachhartley/html/lipforum/inc/class_core.php on line 18

A similar message appears if I simply try to access the forum, except it ends with "/class_error.php on line 51"

Thanks for your help,
Coach

Host doesn't run PHP5.1 or greater. Contact them or get another modern host.

There is a setting in the GoDaddy hosting control center to change to php 5.x

I will see if that takes care of it.

Yes, that took care of it. GoDaddy took about 30 minutes to make the change to my hosting server. Thanks for getting me started in the right direction to fix the problem.
