Help please! Can not login to admin at all

[igalkina]

:'(

Hello! Would be very grateful if someone can help. I made corrections in public_html/admin/includes/functions/localization.php following advice on the forum about currencies. Site looked Ok after corrections. But when i tried to go back to admin - have no such an opportunity. Instead of asking me for username and password I got white page with message:

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '&' in /home/vintagg0/public_html/admin/includes/functions/localization.php on line 15

 

So i have no way to access admin to correct this mistake or do any further work on my web site. I am locked out from administrating my site. How I can solve this problem?

 

What shall i do? Please help!!! :'(

First off did you make a backup copy?

Post the file admin/includes/functions/localization.php maybe someone can help you out.

Remember ALLWAYS BACKUP YOUR FILES.

what does line 15 say?

[igalkina]

I did backup but did it through admin. So it is not on computer but somewhere may be on server. To be honest I do not know how to make backup on my computer. How can I do it?

 

Here is the code(below) that I took fom forum and put in /home/vintagg0/public_html/admin/includes/functions/localization.php. Guys said it worked for them. But I cannot access it now to make any corrections as am locked out from admin.

 

Line 15 - is the first line after comments.

Can this sign � cause mistake?

 

How can I solve situation? How to get back to admin? Would be greateful for any help. The site was almost ready...

it looks like your using something other than a recommended text editor

 

because it's putting in some unwanted characters use notepad if you don't have anything else

 

do not upload your files with the admin file manager. use a good ftp program like fileZilla or cuteftp

 

I would upload a clean copy of the localization file and see if that clears things up..

[igalkina]

I'd like to change or clear localization file. But a have no access to anything as I have no access to admin. The main question now is how to access files to make changes or upload something new.

[igalkina]

Done with it :-" I called my hosting company and asked to replace localisation file with working version from previous backup. :rolleyes:

Using the osc filemanager (probably).

Download and install an FTP program like filezilla. Use it to download the fies to your pc, and use a text editor to make the changes.
