Parse error(s) in module(s)

[yebberdog]

I have spent a number of weeks learning and creating a website using Prestashop. All seems to have been fine and the site has been live after extensive testing and recently took three orders. Today I have hit major problems, when I go to the ADMIN/MODULES section, I am seeing Parse error(s) in module(s) for all standard modules, only custom modules are not affected. This has also resulted in the cart not working in the front end, so when I try and add a product to the cart I also get a parse error. The strange thing is that I have not made any changed to the site, either by adding new products or changes.

I am running Prestashop Version 1.2.4.0 from a fresh install. I have added a screen shot below so if anyone can add any help as to the problem I will be very grateful. This is my first Prestashop site have completed many Zen Cart shops and the thought of re-installing and starting again is more than I can take.

So please please any ideas would be very welcome.

Kind regards

Have you checked your php_error logs ?

[lionelbernier]

Thanks for the answer.
In fact i'm really new on prestashop.
I didn't know where to find the error log.php
Could you tell me where to find it.

In fact i've found a log folder compressed where i've found an erro log file
he says :

in fact a lot of lines, but it crashes this morning due to an error certainly...
Does images can cause this kind of crashes?

Out of interest I did resolve this issue, however I am not closing this thread as I still have no idea why the problem happened in the first place. When I checked any php file associated with any of the modules where the parse error existed, there was what I can only describe as a large block of random numbers at the top of the file. The only legible content was base64?

To overcome the problem I simply deleted all standard modules and FTP the original module from my computer to my server.

Problème résolu, problem solved
In fact my provider changed us the from hosted server because Mysql 5.0.37 seems to bug with prestashop.
en fait notre fournisseur nous a changé de serveur car le mysql 5.0.37 semble ne pas etre compatible avec prestashop.

The route cause which I have now found relating to the parse error was a virus which infected many php files, in particular index.php and all the standard modules. Transfering the backup modules from a clean version only resolved the problem for a short time, the key was removing all the infected files that showed a base64 code line in many php files.
