Unexpected $end error

[tattooedpierre]

My site has been down since yesterday and I can't seem to find any reason for it. The error I am receiving is:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/theinfe/public_html/smf/index.php on line 207

.. upon looking in the index.php file it does seem to be all fine.

.. anyone have any ideas? I'm using SMF 1.1 RC2 and TP 0.8.6, with various themes installed. It was working fine yesterday morning but now all of sudden this.

I am only aware that yesterday there may have been larger than usual traffic, but other than that..

What did you do when this error first showed up ?

[tattooedpierre]

I opened the file in question and looked at it. And found nothing on that particular line that was indicative to me of a fault. In the meantime, I checked the SQL database to make sure it was intact.

[GTS]

Did you paste the content of the whole file to the code block, or just till line 206?

Because, my index.php has a few more lines. (351)

If you pasted the whole file, it means that your index.php is broken.

[tattooedpierre]

I did paste the whole file, yeah. I thought this might be the case but I couldnt recover a TP'ed version of the index.php file. Do you have any idea where I could get an intact version?

[GTS]

You could use the SMF original index.php, and apply the changes to it manually.
You can find the needed modifications in TP_mod-instructions.txt in the tinyportal zip file ^^

On the other side, here's mine.
It should only have the changes by the tinypotal mod inside, but no warranty

Edit: damn typos ^^

[tattooedpierre]

Thanks for that. I do, however, have a new error

Warning: Unterminated comment starting line 26 in /home/theinfe/public_html/smf/Sources/Subs.php on line 26

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/theinfe/public_html/smf/Sources/Load.php on line 192


.. everything is looking to be generally messed up .. what could do this?!

[GTS]

Looks like a ploblem with your host, like a crash or something that damaged some files in your folders.
You could try requesting a restore from your host (if the host made backups at least), but that would mean a rollback of serveral days/weeks, depending on the backup interval.

Otherwise, you'll have to reinstall everything, and hope that the database isn't damaged.

Backing up your files regularly helps against that ... ^^

[tattooedpierre]

I've contacted my host.. Ugh this is a nightmare .... sooooo much time and effort spent to create it all. Well at least the database seems to be intact. I'll need to see what they say about a recent crash and recovery options.

Thanks for your help

I think the problem is your subs.php. There is an error in the script.

Did you add a mod or something?
