Bonk / Parse error: syntax error - site no worky

edited April 2012 in Vanilla 2.0 - 2.8

Hey everyone. I just installed and got the infamous Bonk error. From reading other posts I disabled that to get the full error. Thus far I haven't found a solution in other posts so I though I'd ask you all.

Here is the error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/godswill/public_html/community/conf/config.php on line 5

Any ideas how to get it going? I've double checked the permissions and they look right to me. Any help is most appreciated!

    There is a type error in the following file:

    /conf/config.php on line 5

    Try to look for ' ` " or any type of similar characters, correct that line and otherwise copy /paste the contents of

    /conf/config.php on line 5
