Followed instructions but site is not running

Hi. I installed phpvms in my hosting server. Installed in a dedicated folder and copied the public files to the public_html folder because I’m planning to use a seperate landing page on top of php. But nothing shows up. I edited the index.php and pointed the correct path. I’m always getting a syntax error at line 18. No matter what I’m doing it always returns an error. Am I doing something wrong. Can someone help me?? 

If you are planning to have a landing page, then it is highly advised to install phpvms v7 to a subdomain, you can find the details at installation guide (here at forum) and the details about uploading at docs.

According to your explanation, it is clear that you are doing something wrong 'cause it is not needed to edit index.php etc for a proper install.
