Moved 2.5 site up one level - now errors

I created a 2.5 site in a sub directory. Working fine.
Downloaded the content and uploaded it to top level.
Edited config file to reflect the new position.
Now I have an error
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '=', expecting '(' in /homepages/25/xxx/htdocs/xxx/includes/framework.php on line 42

Sadly I deleted the content in the sub folder and on re-uploading it to that sub folder (I backed it up first) now I have the same error at this original location too, where all was working fine before.

Any ideas?

You maybe accidently removed open bracket ( while editing config file. Compare with original from installation package. If you want for us to fix it you can apply for custom job using "Report To Moderator" bu sending your contact email.
