Parse error

[Faramir]

...

really the same error or just not working installation?

Exactly the same, yes :
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '&', expecting T_VARIABLE or '$' in common.php on line 19

So I made a little test: I copied a .htaccess file of my own in the root directory, containing only

Code:

AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .php

and when I call index.php again, it works.
I get the recap screen listing everything in green, from the GetSimple version to Apache Mod Rewrite.

I click the "Continue with setup" button.

In the next screen I enter my site name, a username and email address, push install now and everything seems to run fine, I enter the admin part

but

as soon as I want to save a new password, boom, error 500 ...

And after that, I can no longer access wether the site admin or the frontend, everytime it triggers a 500 error...
Weird.

[EDIT]
Guess what ... I replaced (again) the .htaccess file installed by Getsimple by my very basic one, and it works... I mean, it displays the default page and I can enter the admin section...

Any idea ? Something in the Getsimple .htaccess seems to really annoy my hosting server
