PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '!', expecting ',' or ')' in /var/www/html/wp-config.php on line 29

Posted on June 14, 2017

I’m trying to migrate my wordpress to my new server, however, I’m getting this syntax error that I can’t quite seem to figure out…

PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected '!', expecting ',' or ')' in /var/www/html/wp-config.php on line 29

EDIT: I blocked out my password, but I can tell you it has a ! in it and is on Line 29…

This is my config file:
