That is inside function checkForAdminDefaultPwd(), but I don't see anything wrong in that area.

You did say TestLink 1.8, have you tried the latest 1.8.4?

There could be three reasons:
1. You or your colleague modified the code.
2. You have some extra settings in PHP that requires more brackets in code
3. You have wrong version of PHP (for example beta version)

I had this same error message. My hosting provider (1and1.com) was running PHP4 and I had to create a .htaccess file in the testlink directory to make it run the latest PHP5 version.

That corrected my parse error after clicking on the "New Installation" button. Now I have another error that I think I also found on this forum.

gargmanjit, you are wasting our time. Confirm that you use PHP 5.2 and TestLink 1.8.5.
