Joomla 2.5 versions issues while upgrade. Joomla include/framework.php line 42 or line 35 error.

2.5.1 Installation Parse error: syntax error .. on line 35
Had the same error after using jUpgrade to move a 1.5.x site to 2.5.1. which is hosted by 1and1. Everything tested fine after the install and when I moved the jUpgrade folder to the correct folder to make the site live I got a similar error.

Fixed it by changing the htaccess.txt file to .htaccess and adding the following line

//Code:
# Line added to force register_globals OFF
AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
