Thread:Project:Support desk/Moving mediawiki 1.10.0 from Windows 2003 server to RHEL 6 server

Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to move a mediawiki from a Windows 2003 server OS to a RHEL 6 server OS. I was able to move the database without problems. However after moving the mediawiki folder and trying to view the home page on the linux server, I get a blank page. After looking at the httpd error_log on the linux machine, I found the error:

"PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_NAMESPACE, expecting T_STRING in /var/www/html/wikimedia/includes/Namespace.php on line 44"

I'm pretty sure this won't be the only error I see, so I was wondering is there anything I need to do besides moving the wikimedia folder over to the linux machine and uploading the database into MySql on the linux server? Are there operating system centric problems that I need to know about? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
