  Re: error on upgrading 1.6.4

  If you uploaded the files one-by-one instead of uploading the bundle as a single zip file, then unzipping it on the server, that is likely the problem. Upload the bundle, then unzip it and upgrade.

  Have just tried that and the same error has appeared:
  
  "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /homepages/43/d150980211/htdocs/etrain/at/include/classes/Module/Module.class.php on line 664"
  
  sorry

  Re: error on upgrading 1.6.4

  Note the PHP requirement. Should be 5.02 or later.

  Re: error on upgrading 1.6.4

  I checked with my host company about upgrading PHP. turns out to be a simple solution in my case:
  
  1. Create a .htaccess file or just edit if you already have this file.
  2. Paste this code to the .htaccess file:
  
  "AddType x-mapp-php5 .php 3." (without the quotes)
  
  3. Upload this file into into the root of your domain.
  
  worked a treat and my upgrade worked perfectly
  
  thanks
