syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in <b>/home/content/41/5690141/html/BeBot/Sources/Conf.php</b> on line <b>41</b><br />

Can i get the bot starting on this server?

You have broken something in Conf.php...
Get a fresh Conf.php file and start over again with config, easiest way.

I might be wrong, but it almost looks like you are trying to start BeBot from a webserver.

Make sure you are starting it from command line, or you might need to use php-cli as the executeable.

First off, it seems like your command line linux is PHP 4, not PHP 5, which is why you are getting errors on line 41 since PHP 4 does not have the concept of private and public variables.

Second, you have/had your BeBot accesible trough the web which is a very bad thing in general as it was never written to be web facing at all.

Third, I highly doubt your PHP has sockets support enabled (as this is a security risk on webservers) which is required to run BeBot.

And finally, you might want to check if Godaddy allows you to run background shell processes if you do not have a VPS, and even then it might not be allowed.

P.S. Your "php-cli" example is calling php, not php-cli.
