    This error usually means you are missing {}} somewhere in the code. Remove all and try a new wp install

    I tried downloading the .zip again and re FTPing the files still with the same error. I only changed the parameters outlined in the 5 minute tutorial.

    Unusual ! Any chance you removed ‘ ‘ from config.php. When changing names and keys
    Are you downloading wp direct from here ?

    Also what version php is on server ?

    I do not believe I removed anything from the config.php plus I also tried just renaming the config.php with out adding the database information and the same error is given. The download is direct from the wordpress.org download page yes. PHP version is 4.x

    i found the solutions for you :

    create a new file with name .htaccess.

    on this file you put this string : SetEnv PHP_VER 5

    after you have to upload on the main directory and for me it ok now.
