Ok, I am new to Prestashop as I have always used OSC. However, I decided to learn more about PrestaShop because of the nice GUI that would allow my customers to access the admin side and make their own changes easily. My problem is, I am still getting the Parse error even after making the changes suggested in this thread. If I alter the .htaccess file it comes up with an error 500 (internal server error) when I try to install Prestashop. Is anyone else using godaddy.com to host a prestashop ? if so, was there anything special needed ??? Thanks in advance. Chris
