 * I’ve installed wordpress so many times, but now can’t even get started with the
   install:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_LNUMBER in /home/cra/public_html/news/
   wp-config.php on line 44
 * I have downloaded 2.71 twice, wiped my domain clean and uploaded again, I think
   last time it was line 64?
 * Can I download 2.65 somewhere? I actually liked the old design better and maybe
   that will install.

   it happens) Just be careful when editing that file.

 * Thanks!
 * I checked my 2.7 install and apparently I had the same problem with it and eventually
   didn’t use any security key to make it work.
 * So I’m sure you’re right about the key being the problem. Thing is, I’m wondering
   how difficult it can be to copy/paste those keys. I know I had started with a
   new config to try it a 2nd time.
