Good morning,

I upgraded to SVN using the script I found here on the forum. Everything went very smoothly with the build. It did crash trying to build Mythphone, but I don't use it anyway so I just disabled it in the configure.

Rebooted and everything works well on my frontend. The only thing I can't seem to make work is Mythweb. The Knoppmyth page comes up fine. I can look at the RRD graphs. But if I try to access any of the actual mythweb pages I get this error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STATIC, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /usr/share/mythtv/mythweb/classes/Database.php on line 106.

I have searched the forum, wiki, and gossamer-threads and have tried the suggestions there. I have been trying for 2 days and don't know where to go. Anybody else have this problem?

Thanks

From what I have been able to find from searching for this error, could this be a PHP version problem? I found a posting on another site where they had gotten this error because the script was running on PHP 4 but had been written in PHP4?

Grasping at straws.

In the process of trying to fix this I totally screwed up Apache so bad I had to completely uninstall Apache and start over. After I got Apache running again I still could not get mythweb to load. On a whim I cleared the cache and presto I was in. Don't know what the problem was but by thrashing around I got it working.

Hello Mike,
I am having the same problem - can you elaborate on your solution please?
Thanks

Just in case anyone runs into this same problem I was able to get a response from the guys at mythtv

Installing php 5.2 is not easy so I am going to checkout version 16086
