vb3.8.0.beta2 Parse error: syntax error - caused by config.php

[vB Crew]

I tried to install vb3.8.0.beta2 on my test site. When I try to run the install script, I get this error.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/mysite/public_html/testvb/includes/config.php on line 133

Since I had the error with the script, I downloaded the vb3.8.0.beta2 zip file again from the members area, and configured the config.php for my database again. I uploaded it to my ftp and tried to run the install script again. I still got the same error.

I have a copy of vb3.8.0.beta1 on my computer. I grabbed the config.php file from this zip file, and configured it for my database and uploaded it to my ftp. I was able to do the vb3.8.0.beta install without an error.

This error means that you have a typo in config.php on or before line 133. You need to find and fix this typo. It's most likely a missing ' or ; somewhere.
