[deufg]

Hi All,

Since 2 days without any explaination the following error occurs when try to acess to Modules tab in back office :

Parse error(s) in module(s) :

atos
bankwire
birthdaypresent
blockadvertising
blockbestsellers
blockcart
blockcategories
blockcurrencies
blockinfos
blocklanguages
etc….

And sure impossible to access to modules. Same result with Payment tab


Please help ! It was planned to open the shop next week...
Thank you for your help.

you better check your module directory

_PS_MODULE_DIR_

if you cant see the modules under this directory change it to where your modules located

[deufg]

Hi bkorcan,

Thanks for your reply. Do you speak about variable _PS_MODULE_DIR_ into config.inc.php ? if yes, this one is defined as below, the path is good.

define('_PS_MODULE_DIR_', _PS_ROOT_DIR_.'/modules/');

any other idea on this ?

[bkorcan]

public static function getModulesOnDisk()
{
$moduleList = array();
$errors = array();
$modules_dir = self::getModulesDirOnDisk();
foreach ($modules_dir AS $module)
{
$file = trim(file_get_contents(_PS_MODULE_DIR_.'/'.$module.'/'.$module.'.php'));
if (substr($file, 0, 5) == '<?php')
$file = substr($file, 5);
if (substr($file, -2) == '?>')
$file = substr($file, 0, -2);
if (class_exists($module, false) OR eval($file) !== false)
$moduleList[] = new $module;
else
$errors[] = $module;
}

if (sizeof($errors))
{
echo '

'.Tools::displayError('Parse error(s) in module(s)').'

1. ';
   foreach ($errors AS $error)
   echo '
2. '.$error.'';
   echo '

';
}
return $moduleList;
}

you may check this function at classes/Module.php

[deufg]

Thank you very much for this answer, but I am not able to debug it. Modules files are found on disk, it seems that problem happens on eval($file). No code or config change, I really don't understand what happens.

Any other suggestions ?

Thanks
Fred

Did you install any new modules?

Try taking all of the off (if you can from the Backoffice, do it on the server), and then start adding them 1 by one and see at which point it breaks.

[deufg]

Hi tomerg3, I reinstalled all from a backup (exepted the theme) but the pb still occurs. I noticed another thing : all input fields in BO where there is a ' character (ASCII 39) (ex : apar'the) are returned with \' characters (ex : apar\'the). NB : value data in DB are correct

Also into generated html code when you are in FO is the following :
<input type="IMAGE" border="0" src='\"/boutique/modules/atos/logos/CB.gif\"' name="CB"/>

As you can see src var contains \" at the beginning and the end of string, the generated code is wrong, it should be :
<input type="IMAGE" border="0" src='/boutique/modules/atos/logos/CB.gif' name="CB"/>

Any idea about the root cause of this problem
Thanks for your help

[tomerg3]

It looks like something is wrong with the "atos" module.

As I mentioned before, you should try to disable all your modules, and enable them one by one to be certain what is causing the problem.

[deufg]

yes I would like to disable them, but I cannot access to modules due to error...

Any hints to do it when we can't access them ?

Thanks

You will have to remove them using ftp, I suggest renaming you current /modules directory to /modules_backup.

Then create a new /modules directory, and start copying them back one by one.

[deufg]

I removed all modules and add them one by one but the error occurs with any module. I replaced all modules from an previous backup (Jan 03th) but the result is the same, done the same all directories except theme (which is not concerned by BO), again same error. I also compared all files and replaced all modified after the Jan 03th, no more luck...
I am becoming crazy !

[JOYE]

I`m having the same problem from yesterday as in the first post. Any luck resolving it ? Deleting and uploading moduls makes no difference...HELP, cos my shop isn`t working at all

[deufg]

Hi Joye,

you have to set magic_quote to off in your php.ini.

magic_quotes_gpc = Off
magic_quotes_runtime = Off

Ask to your provider to do it if cannot access to this file.

Hope this helps.
Fred

[JOYE]

Unfortunatelly this didn`t help. Provider wrote me back that these magic_quotes were set to off already so it`s not this

[JOYE]

Maybe few other solutions mates that I could check if would work ?

[deufg]

sorry, I can't help you anymore.

Good luck

If the site was working fine and then all of a sudden stopped working (without you making any changes) two things to look for would be:

1. modified files

Look for recent date stamps on your site in case anything has been modified. iFrame injection and similar automated exploits are very common and could easily mangle things enough to raise errors.

2. changes in the server setup

Create a phpinfo script:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

Take a look and make sure that the settings are as you expect. Just because support staff say it is one way does not always mean it actually is (unfortunately).

Cheers

[JOYE]

Thank you both deufg and codegrunt for your help. Problem finally solved. Creating phpinfo script showed that magic_quotes were ON despite the fact that provider wrote me severeal hours ago that it had been OFF. I wrote him back what I think of his skills using strong words.

)) Thanx guys and greetings from Poland ))
