Hi,
when installing drupal 7.2 I extracted drupal-7.2.tar.gz to my working directory on a webserver.
Invoking the install script resulted in
parse error: syntx error, unexpected { in ../includes/bootstrap.inc line 676.

the same script worked fine on a local installation on my linux notebook.

Are there any hints?

Regards Jerry

You may have entered wrong information. Have you tried to do it again from scratch?

I'm getting the same error.. And no one has helped the OP, I really hate that about Drupal forums, not alot of help.

Here's the answer:

Change your php settings to PHP5 in your webhost.
