I have a multiple site license enabling me to install Gravity on up to 5 sites. Today I tried to install it on a third site and got a fatal error message!
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /mydomainname.com/wp-content/plugins/gravityforms/gravityforms.php on line 41
There's no information in the forums/documentation on how to set this up on multiple domains.
So the question is: how do I solve this?
Hello, this issue is almost always a PHP version issue. It looks like you are trying to activate the plugin on a site running PHP4 and the plugin requires PHP5. You will want to check your hosting settings for the site you are trying to activate this on as i'm pretty confident it will be running PHP4. Most hosts allow you to change this on a site by site basis, and some like MediaTemple default to the older PHP4.

Thanks Carl! Problem solved, it was a PHP4 issue on that particular domain.
Plugin is now successfully installed but now, as a result, I have a fixed showing up in my admin saying: Upload folder is not writable. Export and file upload features will not be functional.
The upload folder was writable but now your plugin is telling me it isn't.
You may want to recheck your file permissions, it shouldn't be given you this error unless it can't write to the wp-content upload folder.
Hi Carl,
I just bought a multi-site license after using Gravity Forms on a different domain (for which I had a single site license). I'm getting the error message "Upload folder is not writable. Export and file upload features will not be functional."
My install settings (as verified through the Gravity Forms plug-in) are:
PHP Version: 5.2.6
MySQL Version: 5.0.67
WordPress Version: 2.8.5
Gravity Forms Version: 1.2.2
My /wp-content directory permissions are set to 755.
My /wp-content/uploads directory permissions are set to 755.
I didn't see a /gravity_forms directory get created, so I created one and set permissions to 755 as well, but I still get the error message.
Here is a link to the form.

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.

Mike,
Could you please try to upload an image via WordPress' media library?
This message usually means that is something wrong with your WordPress installation/configuration that prevents you from uploading anything.
If that is the case, please take a look at your WP's upload folder setting. You can see it under Settings -> Miscellaneous. Change it to "wp-content/uploads" if it is not configured that way and give it a try.
Hello Alex,
We had a permissions problem on the /wp-content directory. After fixing it, the "error" message (which I guess isn't really an error message but more of a warning) is now gone. Thanks for the reply and thank you for the great plug-in.
Best,
Mike
Glad to hear you got it working Mike. Thanks!
Just to add to this conversation. This is in general to WP and not specific to GF. I've had trouble in general with my upload directory being reset to an absolute home path for the server on upgrades. So each time I upgrade Wordpress, I have to go back in and delete some stuff...
instead of (or whatever)
wp-content/uploads
I'll have this (or something like it) after an update
home/username/domain/publichtml/wp-content/uploads
Thankfully, I figured it out and I know to fix it as part of the upgrade process now.
