Hey

I was reading one of Rob's posts and he mentioned Elgg. So I decided to give it a try.

After uploading it and going to the site, I got this error:

Code:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_NEW in /home/pyrit0/public_html/hardstyleforums/crews/engine/start.php on line 106

Has anyone ever had this problem, or know the solution?
Thanks.

Post line 106 of that particular file.

Code:
                throw new InstallationException("Elgg could not load the settings file.");

Are you sure? That's line 209 for me. Line 106 is blank.

Yep.

docs.elgg.org Wrote:Installation breaks with "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_NEW"
Elgg is not running under PHP 5.
Remember, PHP has three components - the php module, php cli and php cgi. Running php -v on the console and getting 5.x.x back does not necessarily mean that the apache module is running PHP 5!
Confirm you have PHP 5 installed and activated as an apache module.

Oh, I see.
Sorry, I'm kinda new to hosts 'n stuff, how do I upgrade to PHP 5?
