I sincerely hope someone can help me, in the process of trying to install a contribution that would tweak my attributes, I have killed my website.

 

I followed the instructions step by step and now i can not access my site and i have the following message:-

 

Warning: require(includes/classes/navigation_history.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/mysakab1/public_html/mysakab/admin/includes/application_top.php on line 127

 

Warning: require(includes/classes/navigation_history.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/mysakab1/public_html/mysakab/admin/includes/application_top.php on line 127

 

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'includes/classes/navigation_history.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/mysakab1/public_html/mysakab/admin/includes/application_top.php on line 127

 

I backed up my website prior to attempting this but now i don't know how to restore my site from the backup.

 

I am at my wits end because i don't know how to fix this.

 

Please someone must know what i have done and how to fix it.

 

hopefully thank you in asvance.

Hello

 

Look at the files you changed then upload from your back up one at a time, this will tell you where you went wrong, it might be that this contribution is an old one and not usable on your version

Ok i have gotten rid of the first lot of error messages now i i have the following one

 

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare do_magic_quotes_gpc() (previously declared in /home/mysakab1/public_html/mysakab/admin/includes/functions/compatibility.php:18) in /home/mysakab1/public_html/mysakab/admin/includes/functions/compatibility.php on line 30

 

I have tried fixing it the same as before but that hasn't worked.

 

any suggestions please.

[louquito]

i got the solution for that one

 

just go on file

 

compability.php

 

and comment like this

 

////

// Recursively handle magic_quotes_gpc turned off.

// This is due to the possibility of have an array in

// $HTTP_xxx_VARS

// Ie, products attributes

//function do_magic_quotes_gpc(&$ar) {

// if (!is_array($ar)) return false;

 

//reset($ar);

// while (list($key, $value) = each($ar)) {

// if (is_array($ar[$key])) {

// do_magic_quotes_gpc($ar[$key]);

// } else {

// $ar[$key] = addslashes($value);

// }

// }

// reset($ar);

// }

 

it will work

[Guest]

what does 'comment like this' mean.

 

I tried finding the section and copying and pasteing in the section you gave me but that didn't work.

 

any other suggestions

thanks

[FIMBLE]

Comment means

 

putting // at the begining

 

Though before commenting it all out

 

Check the

 

reset($ar);

 

is actually there, if not try adding it first.

It depends which version you use.

Now i have this error...

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/mysakab1/public_html/mysakab/includes/application_top.php on line 76

 

// initialize the logger class
 require(DIR_WS_CLASSES . 'logger.php'includes/classes/logger.php(include_path=.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php');

 

This is the lines that i think are the problem.

I dont recognise that line.

Which version are you running?

If by 'backup' you mean that you created a backup of the database under Tools --> Backups in osC Admin then that only covers the database and not files.

 

If you downloaded a backup of the files by FTP before you started this then all you have to do is to upload them back to the correct location to resolve the problem.

That call should be in ADMIN / includes / application_top.php

 

You error says it is in CATALOG / includes / application_top.php

 

You sure you have the correct file in place?
