upgrading issues

I recently tried upgrading to 2.6 from 2.5.1. However i get a:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /nfs/c01/h02/mnt/34991/domains/mydomainname.com/html/www/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1074

i followed the upgrade instructions and it didn’t work. However, i wasn’t informed to bring over my old config file, so i did. but still get problems. now I have no idea what to do from here. can someone help!
