error, please help

[rabbitseffort]

I just tried to install the header tags controller and all seemed fine until I went to my admin at the end of the install and I get this error when I click anything and also there is no link to click for header tags in the left column like there should be--here is the exact error

 

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare tep_db_connect() (previously declared in /home/mindzeye/public_html/catalog/admin/includes/functions/database.php:13) in /home/mindzeye/public_html/catalog/admin/includes/functions/database.php on line 13

 

what might I need to do? Please advise, thanx

My store does seem to function just fine, but the admin area is completely unusable right now...I really need help asap. I dont want to restore the backup, I want to use the contribution.

 

I have orders coming thru just fine, but I have to access them thru phpmyadmin, I can not use the admin area of my osc!!!!

 

Please help me with the above error someone!

find the redeclaration of the function in the php file and comment it out

here is the code from the database file, maybe you can look and see what is wrong? I have a feeling that maybe it is in application_top that may be causing trouble? Please help if you can! Thanx

anyone advise me please?

[TheMJ]

see where it says

function tep_db_connect(

?

thats what is causing the problems. dont change anything there though.

It is probably whatever you changed that caused problems. look around for any refrence to database.php It could have been included twice by mistake
