 * Trying to install WordPress on my hosted server….still.
    I’ve uploaded WP files
   to my hosted server into my_domain_name\wwwroot\blog\ directory. In browser, 
   I go to my_domain_name/blog/wp-admin/install.php and get Parse error: syntax 
   error, unexpected $end in C:\….my_domain_name\wwwroot\blog\wp-admin\install.php
   on line 82. Lines 81 through 83 are
 *     ```
       $blog_public = 1;
       	if ( ! empty( $_POST ) )
       		$blog_public = isset( $_POST['blog_public'] );
       ```
   
 * within function display_setup_form.
    The CP shows blog directory permissions 
   as read,write,delete for my_domain_name and network services.
