Hi, I've been trying to install the free version for evaluation purposes as I have several sites on creloaded B2B that I wish to change - I've already searched google etc. but can't resolve this problem. Server is 1&1 - php 4.4.9, MySQL 4 Database and zend 2.6.2 installed - files decompressed via SSH so binary/ftp not an issue.
Storefront loads - but www.XXXXX.co.uk/admin returns the following:
 
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '/' in /homepages/2/XXXXXXXXXXXX/htdocs/includes/va_functions.php on line 217
 
Any help would be much appreciated.
 
Many Thanks

Hello,
 
You can solve the issue by copying your php.ini file to the 'admin', 'shipping' and 'payments' folders of your shop to enable Zend Optimizer work correctly.
 
With kind regards,

Had the same issue as you did. If you are using a shared server like Godaddy, the IP/admin will be too broad. You have to assign a dedicated IP or domain name to access the admin panel.
