So I unzip and upload all the files to my root directory, then navigate to the install directory and get this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /homepages/19/d218360750/htdocs/admin/includes/classes/language.php on line 20

I have tried to re upload all the files and get the same error. Last year I sucessfully uploaded oscommerce to this same domain.

Upload your files to the server in a compressed format and then uncompress it.

this may sound dumb but how do you uncompress a zip file on a server? thanks.

[blackwater]

If you lack root access then this is generally done via cpanel or similar. You could also ask your host to do it for you.

hi i have same prob i have up loaded the zip file and unziped it on the sever then run the install.php and still get the error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /home/sites/hendycrafts.co.uk/public_html/1/oscommerce-3.0a5/oscommerce/admin/includes/classes/language.php on line 20

So what do lines 10 through 25 look like in the file? Cut and paste here. Indicate which is line 20. If it's not human readable, obviously something was done wrong somewhere (failed to unpack the file properly).

You're probably using an incompatible version of php. Check the requirements on the download page for the product and compare them to your platform.

hi and thx for ur help i was run PhP 4 so upgrades to PhP 5 and everything is ok now thankyou

[bradybarrows]

The problem is resolved by simply putting an .htaccess file with this code:

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

into the top level of the folder

Fixes it. At least on 1&1 servers this is required.
