Error all of a sudden

[mydive]

Hi...

the site has been working along quite fine for a few days after the update to 3.5.5 - then this morning i logged into check on it, and this is what i've been greeted with.


Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in /home/mydive/public_html/app/loader.php on line 123

any ideas where this would have come from?

this is line 123

if(Login::getUser()['timezone'] !== Settings::get('default_timezone') and G\is_valid_timezone(Login::getUser()['timezone'])) {

thanks

john

i'm desperate as the whole site is offline - http://mydive.photos

This is getting weird... now i'm getting this error... and nothing has changed at all for days... so this has come right out of the blue....

Fatal error: Namespace declaration statement has to be the very first statement in the script in /home/mydive/public_html/app/loader.php on line 21

Always read the manual. https://chevereto.com/docs/update-guide#from-3x-arvixe

Update from 3.X (Arvixe)
The update procedure is exactly the same but unless is explicitly mentioned do not change the root .htaccess file. If somehow you replaced this file make sure to have this line of code at the very top of the file:

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php54 .php54 .php

I haven't changed anything... last night before bed the site was up and running fine... this morning it's crashed as though it's been edited... i checked with my developer and he hasn't logged in for over a week....

 

[mydive]

The line AddHandler application/x-httpd-php54 .php54 .php was # out... i removed it so now it shows AddHandler application/x-httpd-php54 .php54 .php and still no go.... are you able to login and have a look at what's causing this?

That means that someone (goblins?) edited your app/loader.php. My app/loader.php looks like this at the top:

<?php

  # This file is used to load G and your G APP

namespace CHV;
use G, Exception;

So try to see if the error is something silly like an space or something before <?php

i had a couple of file encryped with Chinese characters before... so dunno....

Just try to see what you have edited and compare it with the stock code. The issue is caused by bad editing that's all.

Ah man that beats me... i just re uploaded the files from the upgrade that you had and now it's all good.... i tried that so many times before.... thanks for the help.

 

[mydive]

hang on... more errors... i'm just trying to update it now to see if it fixes them

 

[mydive]

All sorted.. there appears to be a significant delay in refreshing the site because of the CDN.... issue's been resolved thank you.
