    I keep getting this message:

    Warning: Unexpected character in input: ‘\’ (ASCII=92) state=1 in /home/www/intrepid.freesuperhost.com/wordpress/wp-config.php on line 2

    Parse error: parse error in /home/www/intrepid.freesuperhost.com/wordpress/wp-config.php on line 2

    and

    Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/www/intrepid.freesuperhost.com/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php on line 52

    what’s wrong? I’m really new to this, I’d appreciate the help.

    Check that your ftp client has correctly uploaded, in ASCII mode, all the files in all the directories.
    That error usualy occurs when a file is not uploaded correctly – look for any files with a size of 0.

    Hey, thanks for your tip. I looked it all over and everything seems to be fine with it. Any other suggestions?

    Did you add a line break to the config file?

    Go back in and make sure that there isn’t any spaces after the last line of ? >

    Do this by backspacing all the way back to the >

    Thanks for your suggestion. I looked it over and I didn’t see any spaces after the last line of ?> I appreciate your help though. What else could possibly have caused this error?

    This is line 2:

    /** WordPress's config file **/

    So somehow the file has been uploaded (or unzipped) wrongly as the / should be seen as indicating a comment.

    How are you unzipping / transferring files ?
