I'm getting this error when trying to install VB 4.2.2

[Fungsten]

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '$config' (T_VARIABLE) in /home4/edited/out/forum/includes/config.php on line 64 I edited out the user and site names.

ETA: Line 64 is the password for the DB. I checked with the hosting service and everything is correct.

I've done some searching and can't seem to find anything on it ex. a version 5.

You need to install 4.2.5, not 4.2.2.

4.2.2 is unsupported, and is not compatible with latest versions of php, which is what is causing the error.

[Fungsten]

Thank Mark.

Mark,

I just uploaded and tried to install 4.2.5 and got this: Fatal error: Class 'vB_Templater' not found in /home4/edited/out/forum/vb/vb.php on line 24

Here's the line(s):

class vB_Templater_vB extends vB_Templater
{
/*

What version of php is running on the server?

For 4.2.5 it must be either 5.6, 7.0 or 7.1.
7.1 is preferable.

I'm on chat with my host waiting for an agent. ETA: It will be about 10 minutes.

The versions are:

OK! I just changed it to 7.1. Let's see now.

Do I have to wait for it to propagate?

Still getting: Fatal error: Class 'vB_Templater' not found in /home4/edited/out/forum/vb/vb.php on line 23

Is this a fresh installation or an upgrade of an existing installation?

[Fungsten]

Fresh.

[Mark.B]

I would download a fresh a copy of the 4.2.5 files, upload these to the server (making sure you overwrite everything that's there) and then run the install script again.

[Fungsten]

Thanks Mark. I shall.

[Fungsten]

Done!! Whew!!
