    I’m trying to install a second blog on my website. I already have one working with wp 2.5 that works fine and would like to have another one on a totally different topic but with the 2.6.2 version. After uploading wp files to a brand new directory, I launched the install.php file and set every parameters needed. It then says that installation was succesfull but all I can have now from the blog is those messages:

    Warning: Unexpected character in input: '\' (ASCII=92) state=1 in d:\...\htdocs\softs\blog\wp-settings.php on line 378

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '?', expecting T_VARIABLE or '$' in d:\...\htdocs\softs\blog\wp-settings.php on line 378

    Then I checked the wp-settings.php file at line 378, and it’s just in the middle of a commented out part of php code.

    did you edit the wp-config.php yourself, or did you use the page that wordpress has where you enter the values and let it create the wp-config.php?

    If you edited the wp-config.php yourself you need to insure that you didnt edit that in wordpad. If youve done that, you need to delete the file, grab a fresh copy of the wp-config-sample.php and edit it using a plain text editor like notepad.

    thats what that error looks like to me.

    Actually 2 files were corrupted: wp-settings.php and then wp-login.php. I upload them again and it works just fine.
