    after loading the files and running through the setup when I clicked install I had the following error:

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/chueber/public_html/wordpress/wp-config.php on line 23

    Not sure what to do?

    This means that your wp-config.php file has an error on line 23. I’m guessing that you edited it yourself to enter the database connection settings, as that line is right in the middle of that.

    Can you post here what you have on line 22 and 23 (because sometime there’s an error in the line above but the program reads it as the next line)? But – make sure you change any username or passwords that are set. We don’t want your real info to be put live anywhere. 🙂

    As a hint, most times something like this will be you missing a quote mark around a string like this:

    define ('WP_DB_USERNAME', needs_quote_on_left');

    Or you could remove the wp-config.php file and let WordPress create it for you as part of the installation process.
