I began receiving this error a few days ago…

syntax error, unexpected ‘(’ in /home/<>/piwik/config/config.ini.php on line 1

in ‘/home/<>/piwik/libs/upgradephp/upgrade.php’ at the line 482

I have attempted to delete all files, and install the most recent version of Piwik (1.2). On each reinstall, I choose to delete the old database tables.

Any idea what might be causing this?

Check the line 1 of config/config.ini.php ?

It looks like my ftp account may have been compromised, and a spammer was uploading scripts to my website, thus causing the error to recur.
