Removed blank spaces and a blank line, didnt fix the problem. Installed a fresh copy of CodeIgniter, that works. So there is definately a problem with my CI files, not php itself.
EDIT: Steps I took to test this were
mv webFiles/webFiles2
mkdir webFiles
chmod 755 webFiles
unzip CodeIgniter_2.0.2.zip
chmod 755 CodeIgniter_2.0.2
edit index.html
I have since changed it back, by changing webFiles to webFilesDefault, webFiles2 to webFiles and editing the index.html file again, as well as chmoding the index files which were for some reason 744, and it now gives me a 500 error when trying to reach index.php
