Hello everyone,

I have an error message on my web site and I can't find how to solve it.
Here is the message :
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STATIC, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /home/acupunctu/www/core/kernel/startup.php on line 124

I also download from "In-Portal" the last "startup.php" file, and put it on FTP (to replace the "older" one), but I still have this error message.

Anyone faced the same pb?
Thanks for your help or advices.

Hello,

Please answer a few questions to help me understand your situation better:

1. was everything working fine and then you started seeing this error out of nowhere?
2. what PHP version you're using?
3. what In-Portal version you're using?

If you decide to cherry-pick replace any In-Portal installation file (suspecting it might have been corrupted on the server), then please use only files from your In-Portal version and NOT the latest available file.

Thank you.

Hello Alex, thank you for your reply.

1. was everything working fine and then you started seeing this error out of nowhere? => yes but i don't know when it occurred

2. what PHP version you're using? = version 5.3

3. what In-Portal version you're using? => I don't remember, but in the "index.php" file I found this : "h@version $Id: index.php 14244 2011-03-16 20:53:41Z alex $"

Thank you

1 - I'm suspecting a PHP version was changed on a server

2 - ok

3 - that is likely In-Portal 5.2.1, but to be sure check in "Modules" table in the database

If you don't have any customizations made on your installation (PHP files uploaded via FTP were changed), then you can safely perform an upgrade to the latest In-Portal version.

Upgrading PHP into 5.4 should also help.

Hello Alex,

Thanks a lot for your help, it works now ! :-)

I upgraded to php5.4, and I also take the "startup.php" file from 5.2.1 version.

Have a nice day :-)
