    hi
    I have had a site go pear shaped from a plug in install and had to re-install wp files. inadvertently blew the config file away(please no comments I KNOW!)
    Have made a copy of the sample config file and entered the correct db details etc. and used the worpress salt kegen for the codes in there.
    Keep getting this error
    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/shanijae/public_html/wp-config.php on line 45
    line 45 is the first line of the security codes.

    I have retried this and made another copy of the sample config file and started from scratch and it has made no improvement.

    Any ideas please????

    thanks

    Parse errors

    Syntax Error

    A syntax error means that you have made a mistake while creating your PHP structure. You could, for example, be;

    When this error appears it will tell you which file the error appears in (functions.php on line 45 for example) and approximately which line (it may not always be the exact line so be sure to check just before and just after) in the code.

    Unexpected

    If you are receiving an error which says ‘parse error: unexpected’ this usually means that you have forgotten to include a character.

    thanks for the response. all code up to line 45 executes, as i did change the parameter immediately prior to line 45 and got a different error. Line 45 in the beginning of the code generator security key, I have even tried leaving blank. I am assuming using a WP generated key, and tried several different ones just in case this should be fine….any other ideas to work around this?
