Parse error: syntax error, unexpected

[Fr33z4r]

After I finish installing the phpBB2 forums, this is what comes up at the top

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in /home/soccer94/public_html/forums/includes/template.php(127) : eval()'d code on line 247

can anyone help on this?

update to intermeditate php on your account page

 

[Fr33z4r]

I already have.

 

[galaxyAbstractor]

have you gotten the mail about it has been changed?

 

[Fr33z4r]

Nope

 

[galaxyAbstractor]

then the server hasn't had time to update your php version yet.

 

[Fr33z4r]

it says its already been updated.

This is not a PHP Version error, as it says it's a syntax error in the script. You'll have to debug it to find the error, usually starting with or around the line it stats in the file is a good place to start.

oh sry. I've seen lots of people with "eval()'d code on line 247" in their errors because they didn't update it.

The easiest way to fix it would be to download phpbb again and upload just the file includes/template.php

Can I have step-by-step on how to debug it? (FIX IT)?

you can always download phpbb2 from phpbb.com and upload the files. you can debug the files by downloading the phpbb2 files from phpbb and uploading the fresh files over the error filled one's only or you can edit the files if your ftp client your using has that feature and find the line of code having the error and fix it or ask someone if they can do it if you don't know php well by giving them an ftp account with limited access to only the files that need to be edited.

I would re-upload an unmodified version of that file. Maybe a mod or something you used overwrote it.
