Error in Updating Counters

[patt1293]

I am getting this error when i try to open the Update Counters Page of Admincp:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/crackeds/public_html/acp/misc.php on line 1843

Any help?

The only thing I can think of is to check the file /home/crackeds/public_html/acp/misc.php and make sure it's not messed up (like maybe it ends on line 1843 instead of 1943 like it should), and upload it again if needed.

ETA: if not, I guess also check the phrase 'rebuild_similar_threads' and make sure that looks OK.

Try to replace the misc.php file with a fresh copy from the vb package of your version and see if that would help

[patt1293]

i replaced the file... it is 1843 lines both in my fresh copy and my faulty copy.

[kh99]

Well come to think of it, it could be a different version than mine so maybe 1843 is right for yours. What's the end of the file look like?

ETA: I'm working on a test site that has version 3.8.3 and the end of mine looks like this:

($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('admin_maintenance')) ? eval($hook) : false;

print_cp_footer();

Oops - yeah, so do I but I accidentally left it off.

[patt1293]

ugh i have no idea what is going on or what is wrong

[kh99]

You could try disabling any installed mods to see if that helps. Specifically, that file includes code from the "admin_maintenance" hook, so you could see if you have any plugins uising that hook.

vbexperience was the only one... i removed it.. its still gettting the same damn error

[kh99]

OK, I have one more thought, then I'm out...

Check the file includes/functions_databuild.php (or just upload a fresh copy if that's easier).

[patt1293]

okay so here. i uploaded another vbulletin in a separate directory, installed it, clean db, fresh install, still getting that error. makes no sense.

Download a new vbulletin package and upload the file from there. Don't open it or do anything to it before uploading it.
