 * I installed wordpress as directed, but when I try to run it I get the following
   problem:
    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/…/wp-includes/query.
   php on line 2171
 * What is the problem here? Should I just delete the unexpected code?

 * Try uploading the files again, as samboll’s post implied.

 * There were many occasions that an error appeared, when I initially uploaded the
   file, telling me that the file already existed. I chose to keep the most recent
   file, in all occasions. What should I have done?

 * Uploaded all files again (which took all day, thanks to my less than reliable
   internet connnection), but I still get the same message!

 * Right, for some reason it worked when I reinstalled the ‘query.php’ file for 
   the second time. However, I now have this problem when trying to edit a page!:
 * Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_editable_user_ids() in /…/wp-admin/
   edit-page-form.php on line 86

 * Blimey… I’ve reinstalled the files three or four times now (or at least, done
   three or four sweeps, replacing missing or incomplete files), and now there is
   an error connecting to the database. Amusing, but frustrating.
