Lighttpd

Sorry to add "noise" here, but we seem to be getting the same error. The lighttpd we use runs behind a Proxy directive (from Apache). Most of the requests work, some do not and fail with the following error (or similar):

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in /path/foo/bar.php on line 

I know it's odd, but this is really not a parse error indeed because it works in 8 out of 10 tries - it is somehow connected to lighttpd serving the files.

We use lighttpd 1.4.13 with PHP 5.1.2 (fcgi of course). I am happy to provide more feedback if I get the chance to.

Replying to dot@dot-matrix.de:

Hello,

i always get the following: Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /var/www/localhost/htdocs/test/index.php on line 1 when i try to get a php file via the browser. if i execute php /var/www/localhost/htdocs/test/index.php on the shell, everything works as expected. I had this error several times before, than somewho this error disapeard after some restarts and reinstalling. But this happesn every time, when i update php!

Regards

How did you install Lighty? RPM or from source?
Do you have any control panel? You can use LXadmin, it is free and Lighttpd is integrated.

Wow, i opened that bug three years ago, and now i found it in google ;-)

Well, my problem is solved in the meantime ;-)
Hehe. I had "short_open_tags" on in php.ini, so the xml-Header in XHTML-Files was parsed as php, and then php reported that error. Setting "short_open_tags" to "off" solved the problem.

This Bug is solved :-)
