I'm new to eCommerce, and new to PHP.

Working thru the install of Zen Cart 1.3.9f with install docs from www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=107.

I get through the upload, and all of the CHMODS, etc. When I try to start the install, I get a "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '/' in ***/catalog/includes/application_top.php on line 100" error.

The line in question starts a comment, and a cursory examination of the file appears as if there are no syntax errors in the application_top file.

Thoughts? Do I have a host web server config issue, or is it something silly I've overlooked?

Thanks in advance.
