docs.elgg.org Wrote:Installation breaks with "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_NEW"
Elgg is not running under PHP 5.
Remember, PHP has three components - the php module, php cli and php cgi. Running php -v on the console and getting 5.x.x back does not necessarily mean that the apache module is running PHP 5!
Confirm you have PHP 5 installed and activated as an apache module.
