 * Hi,
    i downloaded the latest wordpress, got the database set up (i already done
   that with phpbb and no problem), i edit the config file but i get this:
 * Parse error: parse error in /3w/wz.cz/f/farsouth/wp-admin/install.php on line
   89
 * my page is on [http://www.farsouth.wz.cz](http://www.farsouth.wz.cz)
 * now i wanted to ask, the “localhost” thing, what is it? i tried filling in the
   adress of mysql server but it doesnt work with it… nor without it

 * That looks like a rather strange server path. Is this a Linux server running 
   Apache? Usually the server path has something like /public_html/ or /wwww/ before
   the webroot (which contains wp-admin).
 * Localhost is normally just set to localhost.
 * Also, the source of the error page shows some weird ad javascript. Is domain 
   parking possibly turned on?

 * Well the ads has to be there… my webhost puts it there automatically, do you 
   think this might be the problem?
    As for the first question, I don’t really know.
   I put localhost back to config file, now i have two errors showing up:
 * Parse error: parse error, expecting `','' or `‘;” in /3w/wz.cz/f/farsouth/wp-
   includes/wp-db.php on line 357
 * WebZdarma.cz
 * Fatal error: Call to undefined function: hide_errors() in /3w/wz.cz/f/farsouth/
   wp-settings.php on line 120
 * Anyone can help please?
