Description Patriarch Anthony I 2006-07-09 07:15:41 UTC
Everytime I try to run the maintenance scripts I get this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STATIC, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or
T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /home/taacus/public_html/includes/SpecialPage.php
on line 69

It worked before in 1.6.7 but not anymore. I have my AdminSettings.php set up
like it says to. Like I said they used to work until the upgrade to 1.7.0 and
1.8-svn. I tried both 1.7.0 and 1.8-svn and both have the same problem.
Comment 1 Brion Vibber 2006-07-09 07:37:43 UTC
It sounds like you're running PHP 4. Make sure your command-line 
PHP executable is in fact PHP 5.
Comment 2 Patriarch Anthony I 2006-07-09 08:03:11 UTC
That is exactly what it was. I have no idea how to make my shell access use php5
since the php is the cgi module on my server but I have found a temporary work
around.
