You're using an outdated version of PHP, probably < 4.3
You should update to PHP 5 or at least to v4.3

An outdated version of Zend Optimizer may cause this kind of errors too

I knew I was using an older version of MySQL, that's why I am using the older version B2Evolution, but an older version of php? How do I check what version of php I am running? How do I update?
Thanks for any help.

You should be able to check it in hosting control panel.

No such thing.
I upload all of my stuff via FTP. There is no user CP.

Who is your hosting provider?

My Boss's company. I believe he uses Plesk. I have no access to that though.

Now, I read a previous post that was having the same error message, and their issue was the Zend Optimizer. They provided a php.ini file to insert into the root folder to help with that (It worked for them) but it did nothing for me.

I really want to just get this done. I have no problems installing the files, I just can't log in with the temporary login info it gives me without getting this message.

You can't do much if the server doesn't read custom php.ini and you don't have root access. You need to contact server administrator.

Upload a file info.php with the following content, and open it in web browser.

<?php

phpinfo();

?>

I can't. I tried but I don't have permission to upload to the root at least. Which is wierd, because I was able to upload all of the rest of the files.

I think I am going to have to find a different blog to use. :-(

Assume "root" means "/var/www/vhosts/tailwheelsetc.com/httpdocs/" ?

Gonna be a tad tough to try another blog software ;)

I guess "htdocs" access doesn't let you edit apache config files

Apart from the fact that htdocs doesn't exist ... phpinfo() is hardly an apache config file ;)

I can upload fine to httpdocs/ though that one for some reason is giving me issues.
As for trying another blog program, why would it be tough? there are blog programs out there that run using perl, and that I know works on my server.

If you couldn't upload files to httpdocs then you'd have trouble installing anything ;)

Weird that it seems to dislike just that file though, so lets try some things :

1) change the file name, call it foo.php (same content)

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

2) change the content ( call file what-you-like.php )

<?php
$foo = 'php'.'info';
$foo();
?>

3) .... urm, lets see if 1 or 2 work first :D

¥

Okay got the info.php to work.
What am I looking for?

From checking the info on your server, you're running php version 4.3.2 ( shows it at the top of your "phpinfo" page ;) )

My normal advice would be : try grabbing a fresh copy of the zip, preferably from a different mirror (@link [url=http://sourceforge.net/settings/mirror_choices?projectname=evocms&filename=b2evolution/b2evo%202.4.7-stable/b2evolution-2.4.7-stable-2009-05-27.zip]2.4.7 mirrors[/url]) and re-uploading all of the files.

Chances are you have a corrupted file as non-logged in users get a similar error but on a different line ;)

¥

I will try that again. I've done it once. Thank you for the advice. It may be this download. As it gives me the same error for both sites I am building blogs for.

Okay, tried that, and it still doesn't work. I am getting the same error.
I think I will have to try a different blog program.
Thank you for all of your help.

Good luck and I hope you get something working.
