PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '?' in /usr/share/plesk-wp-cli/php/wp-cli.php(23)

[Pa1]

Hello all,

i have installed Plesk 12, and total 14 Wordpress Installations running.

I have set up 2 of them using the Plesk Auto Install tool and they appear fine in the admin control Panel. After doing that, i wanted to add the other 12, and did a scan in the tab "wordpress installations"

6 of my Installation was added as expected. the other 6 failed, and i see only entries "httpdocs" in the list.
when clickin on those, it shows the errors:

PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '?' in /usr/share/plesk-wp-cli/php/wp-cli.php(23)

obviously it produces an error when parsing the wp-config files, so i compared the wp-config of a working Installation with one of those that did not work. But they are (apart of username and Passwort) exactly the same Content (used the tool winmerge to be absolute sure)

does anyone have an idea how i can add the other 6 installations manually, or how i can work around that error ?

Which version(s) are your WordPress instances?

all updated to newest... 4.2.2

Can you send me two config files (one that works and one that doesn't) via PM? You should remove the passwords, obviously.

Thanks to CUSTER. He worked out the solution.

Installing Notepad ++, opening the wp-config.php and then save it as UTF8 without BOM resolved the Problem.

Thanks for the great Support !
