[Solved] Install issues, getting a Parse Error on index.php

Howdy folks, I've tried my hand at Joomla and Drupal without much luck.  I'm no internet genius, so when I got to play around with the CMS ME, I was astounded by the ease of use it offered.  So I deleted the Joomla installation and proceeded to upload CMS ME.

But here's the problem.  Upon installation, I get this error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /homepages/0/d331508155/htdocs/myurlgoeshere/lib/test.functions.php  on line 29
(Red text is mine)

I'm on 1&1 Hosting, so it should have everything required.  But I'm not exactly sure what version numbers they are.  I'd be thankful for any help in setting this up! :)

Wrong PHP version. You need 5.2.4. Post more info next time. Call 1and1. Their tech support is very good. Also, http://faq.1and1.com/scripting_languages_supported/php/php5_upgrade/4.html

Thanks for the reply, unfortunately I don't know the exact version numbers like I stated in my original post or else I would have included them.

I'll try to do the update. :)
