Fatal Error Code

[NYChamps]

The root file where I can go in a make changes to the mod settings and load.php  things like that?   yes that I have

[Bigguy]

Can you get at your ModSettings.php file and upload it here.

[NYChamps]

Here it is (hopefully)

[Bigguy]

What version of SMF are you using.

[Bigguy]

Ok, try this file out. Rename the one that is there now and upload this one. I found multiple errors and I think I got them all.

[NYChamps]

I uploaded the new one and then transferred it and still i have the same white page with the same error.

[Bigguy]

Press ctrl + f5 and see if that helps. There are no errors in the Modsettings file anymore.

[NYChamps]

Ctr + F5 didn't do anything.

The errors that I showed you last were coming from Load.php

I attached it in case this is the culprit

[Bigguy]

Line 397 is causing the error. For some reason I can't get this one:

Code Select Expand

                $check = sha1($user_settings['passwd'] . $user_settings['passwordSalt']) == $password;

The error is:

unexpected T_VARIABLE

I'm still workin on it but might continue tomorrow.

[NYChamps]

Thanks  I appreciate your help   Whatever you can do to help is great.  Members are getting nasty  lol 
Forum has been down a whole day.  I'll hang around a while in case you decide to do any more tonight otherwise I will check first thing in morning.

An update....

No more white page with error;

I now am back to having the Forum coloring and the heading and this message again -

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: showarsads() in /home/content/a/c/u/acuityitc/html/makethatdollar/Sources/Load.php(1726) : eval()'d code on line 342

When I go to that page all that is on that line is a "}"

[redone]

You'll have to disable template eval temporarily to get the real file and error line.

To do this, run this query in PHPmyAdmin (What is phpMyAdmin?)

Code Select Expand

INSERT INTO smf_settings VALUES ('disableTemplateEval', 1);

Once that's done, get the error again and copy it (the file and line may have changed), then run this query to re-enable it:

Code Select Expand

DELETE FROM smf_settings WHERE variable = 'disableTemplateEval';

HELP   PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  My Forum Has Been Down TOO Long Now!!!!!!


How do I access the phpmyadmin or mysql if I can't access any part of my forum?

I'm new at this so you kind of threw me on this one.  Any help is appreciated. 

[Bigguy]

phpmyadmin is accessed by going into your cpanel of your host. In there you will select the database name of the database you are using on the left. A menu should appear above that with a tab called Query; press that tab and enter what RedOne has stated above. he should be able to help you out more with the database stuff.

[NYChamps]

I do not have any tab that says "Query"   

I use FileZilla to access my root file.

[NYChamps]

I have been having some coding issues that I have been trying to work out with some of the support specialists but i'm on day 3 of my forum being down.....they don't seem to be online now and I really need to get the forum back up and running.

Can I do a complete install as well and start the slate clean except keep my members and old posts?

I have already downloaded a full version of SMF 1.1.5, now I just need to know if this is a smart thing to do and what my next step is.

I am very new at this, still learning the lingo....

Also...since I could not find phpmyadmin I downloaded it - not exactly sure where to put it - but I was trying to get to the query box....

I access my root file through filezilla.

Thanks!

Hello NYChamps,
I brought your last post over from http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=244233.0.
You can install SMF and point it to your existing db. Upload the 1.1.5 files to your server and replace all files except Settings.php && Settings_bak.php!!
Delete the Install.php and Install.sql file(s).

[NYChamps]

Thank you so much for responding to quickly!!

I have attached a copy of the page for my root file.  You can see where the new SMF 1.1.5 went when I uploaded it - is this where it is supposed to be?

If so.....what exactly is my next step?

[N3RVE]

NYChamps,
I'm not on a computer and so unable to downoad and view the attachments.
Where did you upload SMF files to? SMF is fine in any dir accessible by URL.
You can overwrite the current forum files as earlier stated.
