# CformsII (and other plugins) — parse error

 * I had cformsII running correctly on my blog for a few days but then I changed
   directories and now when I try to activate the plugin I get this nifty little
   error:
 *     ```
       Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
   
       Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '.' in /home/content/xxx/yyy/zzz/html/wp-content/plugins/cforms/cforms.php on line 762
       ```
   
 * I deleted call reference to CformsII on a page where it was deployed but the 
   plugin still won’t work.
 * Any help appreciated.

 * I also get this error when I try to deploy Simple Tags on the plugin dashboard.
 * I am on PHP 5 btw. I’ve seen that as an issue in some of the other threads related
   to parse errors upon failed activation.

 * The problem is corrupted installs. I don’t know what went wrong exactly but I
   downloaded and uploaded a fresh copy of Cforms and everything worked fine.
