    Hi

    I installed eMember on my apache development server on my desktop running windows 7

    but when I try to activate it “live” on a 1and1 hosting package (unix), I get the following:

    Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STATIC, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /homepages/36/d320429163/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/wp-eMember/emember_config.php on line 5

    I have had a look at the code in that file, but I am not experienced enough to know what needs tweaking.

    All pointers or help Much appreciated

    Hi

    I did a bit of rummaging around in my hosts control panel and found that they had not upgraded from php 4.4.9. so taking a chance, I uploaded a file called htaccess.txt and renamed it .htaccess this contained the following line of code

    AddType x-mapp-php5 .php .php4

    This forces all pages with an old .php extension to be parsed as php 5+

    consequently the problem in my original post is now solved.

    Many thanks to WZP for such a prompt reply

    ( and a pat on the back for me for self help)

    Again, many thanks
