    hello,
    I need to move this (old.. I know) WordPress site. I’dd like to first offline test updating it, but moving it to my local testing server isn’t working, upon excuting the installer.php script I get a server 500 error with this in the log file:

    [Thu Jul 07 13:17:51 2016] [error] [client 192.168.0.3] PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected '\x8f\xfa\xc4fX' (T_STRING) in /home/vhost/xxx.nl/public_html/installer.php on line 462
[Thu Jul 07 13:17:51 2016] [error] [client 192.168.0.3] PHP Warning:  Unexpected character in input:  '\x19' (ASCII=25) state=0 in /home/vhost/xxx.nl/public_html/installer.php on line 462

    I also tried to test it on an other server I manage, same error!

    My test server runs PHP 5.4.17 the other webserver I tried to install runs PHP 5.4.30

    Can you please help me?

  • Hmmm that is odd. The Google results for that error all talk about PHP version. How old is that package or what version of the plugin did you use to create it with?

    You might try changing the encoding of the PHP file to utf8 via program like Notepad++

    It was installed about two hours before I did the post, so I expect it was the most recent version

    Have you happened to try the file on another server or environment, just to rule that out? If for some reason your having issue on multi-environments feel free to submit a ticket and I can take a closer look at it for you…

    Yes, on two servers, as I mentioned in the first post:

    My test server runs PHP 5.4.17 the other webserver I tried to install runs PHP 5.4.30

    My bad… feel free to submit a ticket and refer to this thread if you want.
