TheDukeOfHurl Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Hello! I recently switched to a different host and am now unable to get my osCommerce install to function properly. When I attempt to launch it, I receive the following error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}', expecting '{' in /home/bigmus5/public_html/shop/includes/functions/database.php on line 13 What do I need to change to make this work? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_mcs Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 The error is saying the code is incorrect. That's strange because it should have failed before the move. The fix is to edit that file and change the symbol shown as directed at line 13. It would be better if you posted that line here, with a few lines above and below it, so someone can verify the fix but based on the error, making that change should fix it. I would be concerned about how the code got changed. Assuming the shop worked prior to the move, someone had to have edited that file, which almost never gets edited.

Jack_mcs Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 The reason for the failure is that this part $link = 'db_link') } should be $link = 'db_link') { However, someone has edited that while line to contain your database details. That will break when moving to a new host unless the database details stay the same, which they shouldn't for security reasons. I suggest you replace that whole line with function tep_db_connect($server = DB_SERVER, $username = DB_SERVER_USERNAME, $password = DB_SERVER_PASSWORD, $database = DB_DATABASE, $link = 'db_link') { Whoever made that change didn't understand how oscommerce works so I would be concerned that they made other such changes. If you paid someone to work on your site, I suggest looking for someone who understands the code. Also, this post will be seen by hackers and they now have your database login credentials so you need to change those right away.

TheDukeOfHurl Posted October 7, 2018 Author Share Posted October 7, 2018 I appreciate the FYI. Now that the issue with line thirteen has been addressed, I am getting a syntax error for line 264, which only contains the following: ?> { Thanks!

Jack_mcs Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 It is because the { is in the wrong place. As mentioned in my reply to your PM, you should download the latest version of CE and use the database file from it.
