Why error? PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'CLASS' (T_CLASS), ....

Thank you Bojanz.

Hello,

I updated the php version on the server to:

PHP 5.6 [Beta, check site functionality for compatibility after enabling]
All files with the extension .php will be handled by the PHP 5.6 engine.
Latest version of PHP.

There was no option for version 5.5

Now, there are the following errors on errors_log page:

In addition, the WSOD now has a single message on a white screen:

The website encountered an unexpected error. Please try again later.

The website was developed locally using php version 5.5.33 and is fine.

Any idea what this is and how I might address it?

Thank you.

Thank you Cilefen. I'm going to talk to them again and ask them if they are currently hosting any Drupal 8 websites successfully and if so, which version of D8 are they running on their server. I have a feeling that they are not yet fully compatible with the latest version of 8 but will know more after I've spoken to them. They told me to contact the developers but having spoken to some developers, I now believe that it is a server issue. They did not identify a bug in core but simply told me that there was a problem in core and they had no idea what it was it was which is not very reassuring or helpful. They said that they are not trained to interpret the error log. What I need to do is talk to someone at the host company who can tell me for certain that they are currently hosting stable up-to-date D8 websites. Thank you for your feedback.

Hello,

So, I called the host provider again and asked to speak to a manager. I was finally able to get a confirmation that they do NOT support Drupal 8 at this time. I wish they had known this and told me days ago. Anyway, it may save someone else some time wasting and frustration. The company is Bluehost. For now, they don't support D8 and they couldn't tell me if they are going to update their servers to accommodate it. They may or may not. Time will tell.

Thanks for everyone's help.

I've changed server providers to siteground.com and they are excellent for D8. Good price, tech support and their servers are up to date to handle D8.
