Fatal error: Cannot redeclare

[OverKiller_]

Hi, I have an error when entering my site

"Fatal error: Cannot redeclare AdsCheckInfo() (previously declared in /home/u993130620/public_html/Sources/QueryString.php:545) in /home/u993130620/public_html/Sources/QueryString.php on line 585"

Please, help!

Welcome to smf Overkiller

Which mods are installed on the forum.

Have you recently installed any mods?

It looks as though a mod has doubled its code twice in the file.

[OverKiller_]

Thanks!

Yes, i have installed "Add Social Media Icons" and "Add fb, like, tweet", but I think I got the error when installing "Add mod v3.1", which i deleted using FTP 

[TheListener]

Did you uninstall it first?

Link to the mod?

[OverKiller_]

I installed it, then dont know why i repaired the MySQL Database, and then i got the error...so I finally uninstalled it, but the error is still appearing.

Mod: http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=255

What can I do?

[TheListener]

Where you downloaded the file was a little dropdown list called Parse.

This woulda given you the parse instructions for the mod.

http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?action=parse

Have a look for the file which is causing the error then use the parser to correct the error.

[Kindred]

you have double installed one (or more) mods.
The ONLY way to recover, at this point, is to MANUALLY remove the duplicated code (and there is likely more duplicated than just the code which is giving the error)

[OverKiller_]

And how I know what have to remove??

I parsed the mod but the error is still appearing, now has changed the line:

"Fatal error: Cannot redeclare AdsCheckInfo() (previously declared in /home/u993130620/public_html/Sources/QueryString.php:559) in /home/u993130620/public_html/Sources/QueryString.php on line 599"

[Kindred]

you "parsed the mod"?

Did you look at the code that the mod adds, and then go through each and every file which the mod edits in order to check for and remove the duplicated code?

[OverKiller_]

Sorry, I mean that I have used the parser xD.

I looked for the file that is causing the error (querystring isn't it?), and then I used the parser to "correct" the file following the instructions of the the parse mod :/

[Kindred]

(and there is likely more duplicated than just the code which is giving the error)

[OverKiller_]

And then? Maybe I can replace the entire "Sources" file to a new one? But where I can get it?

[OverKiller_]

I need help please!

You can find clean files inside the large upgrade package, but please note that replacing your Sources folder with a fresh one will break any other mods you have installed that have also edited files in that folder.  If you have other mods installed it will be easier and cause fewer problems to simply locate and remove the duplicate code as Kindred said.  The parse instructions tell you which files were edited when you installed the mod, you just have to go through those files one by one searching for the code in question and removing any duplicates of the indicated code, not forgetting to keep a copy of each file as backup before you start editing.

Oh and please don't bump your topic in less than 24 hours.  We're all volunteers with real life commitments and in different time zones.  It's 1am here and I'm about to go to bed.

Early night?

[OverKiller_]

Thanks a lot ChalkCat, and sorry for the inconvenience 

Regardless, i will replace the Sources file to a new one and I'll see what happens!

Thanks again and have a good night 

[Chalky]

Damn, I'm still here! 

If you insist on doing that then please back up the whole thing first so you can swap it back again later or you could just end up with a bigger mess 

Night night
