I get this error when I installed a tracking script:
( ! ) Parse error: syntax error, unexpected end of file in /var/www/track.freemerchandiseblog.com/htdocs/202-config/functions.php on line 189 Call Stack
Time Memory Function Location
1 0.0001 126152 {main}( ) …/index.php:0 2 0.0001 126572 require_once( ‘/var/www/track.freemerchandiseblog.com/htdocs/202-config/connect.php’ ) …/index.php:21
I tried installing the same script on my shared hosting at hostgator and it installed perfectly.
I am running on Ubuntu 14.04, and LEMP installed with EasyEngine installation script found at rtcamp.com/easyengine
Can anyone help me out with what this error is about and how I can fix it?
Thanks so much.

This error is because you are using <? instead of <?php tag. Correct the php opening tag and it will work!
If I remember correctly, unexpected End of File in PHP can be caused by a mis-placed semicolon (;). <br> <br>It’s a pain, but check through the code to make sure that every statement is ended correctly, and that all if and while statements are correctly terminated (make sure there isn’t a stray closing bracket } that doesn’t pair up). <br> <br>Something like PHPLinter may help with this.
Ubuntu 14.04 is running PHP 5.5. Perhaps the script isn’t compatible? Are there any listed system requirements for the software? If you need an older version of PHP, you can try Ubuntu 12.04.
