Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR

Jamesbotelho

Hi guys,
Apologies for asking this question but i am stumped tried google and help desk but can't find a resolution and I am assuming it is something obvious!

I am installing the latest release in a subdomain on mydomain.

My PHP version is 5.5
Error i get:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /home/sites/mydomain/public_html/vanilla/index.php on line 40

line 40 is in the following:

$Dispatcher = Gdn::Dispatcher();

$EnabledApplications = Gdn::ApplicationManager()->EnabledApplicationFolders();
$Dispatcher->EnabledApplicationFolders($EnabledApplications);

Many thanks in advance,
James

there are two latest releases!!!

what version NUMBER of vanilla are you using?

are you certain you are using php 5.5?

did you delete the .ini files in your cache?

are you sure followed the correct installation instructions and/or upgrade instructions?

you might re-copy the source of the core.zip files over again.

Thank you for coming back so soon.
Release used '2.1.6' although i had a go with '2.1.5' just in case.
Confirmed PHP 5.5 and i have tried 5.4 and 5.3
I have no files in my Cache file except one that is called empty and has no text.
I have got to step 4 from http://vanillaforums.org/docs/installation
I am retrying again from scratch.

see this as far as hints....

also I believe you need to ask your host how to make sure /conf/config.php is not cached.

Make sure you have a Smarty folder in the forum cache folder and another inside Smarty folder called compile

Guys, I've been away on leave so appologies for the delay. I cleared my head and now I have resolved it after rereading the docs.... Many thanks for the help and much appreciated.
