Problem with a fresh install of Revo on Media Temple servers - parse error in modx.class.php - it goes through all the usual db checks fine - lovely green ticks.

And when when close to completion at;

/setup/index.php?action=complete

It gives this error;

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in /nfs/c04/h01/mnt/xxxxx/domains/test2.merseytribe.co.uk/html/core/model/modx/modx.class.php on line 283

Details
Apache: 2.2.22
MySQL: 5.1.66
PHP: 5.6.21
Modx Rev 2.7.0

I've got a few other Modx Rev sites, all running 2.7.0 and they are working fine. But I've tried this now on 2 sub domains, used a couple of different dbs and also downloaded and unzipped the Modx package twice in case of a file corruption but still the same error messages for all attempts.

Any ideas ?

Are you sure you're on PHP 5.6, and not on 5.3 or earlier? Line 283 of modx.class.php uses short array syntax which is for 5.4 and up.

Got me wondering there - back in and yep PHP: 5.6.21 CGI Stable for that domain - it gave me the option to go to 7.0.6 latest - I went for it and boom, it worked.

Many thanks]]> DavidJColbran Dec 11, 2018, 04:39 PM https://forums.modx.com/thread/104713/problem-with-a-fresh-install-of-revo-on-media-temple-servers---parse-error-in-modx-class-php#dis-post-563212 <![CDATA[Re: Problem with a fresh install of Revo on Media Temple servers - parse error in modx.class.php]]> https://forums.modx.com/thread/104713/problem-with-a-fresh-install-of-revo-on-media-temple-servers---parse-error-in-modx-class-php#dis-post-563210 markh Dec 11, 2018, 04:06 PM https://forums.modx.com/thread/104713/problem-with-a-fresh-install-of-revo-on-media-temple-servers---parse-error-in-modx-class-php#dis-post-563210
