Ok…

I backed up my database using MySQLAdministrator and did a clean install. Fortunately the database was still there and I haven’t lost any information. I am however getting the all too familiar parse error when I use the custom theme that I designed…

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ELSE in D:\WWW\wmaastudios.org\wwwroot\data\wp-content\themes\wmaa artist info\index.php on line 51

Rebuilding the theme is no big deal really but what exactly would cause this error in the theme? Is there something to look out for that I may be doing wrong?

Ugh. The major reason I don’t have a back up of the db is because the server the blog is on doesn’t support phpmyAdmin and they suggested installing the application locally. The directions for doing so were entirely greek to me however.

Still, I suppose figuring that out is worth it if I can somehow get all of this working without rebuilding my blog. Is there another app or easier way to back up the db from the client side that you know of? The server I’m dealing with is running Helm if that helps at all.

No db backups, but if I’m getting this error does that mean the db is necessarily lost?

I renamed the plugins folder, that didn’t work. I even emptied the folder (I have backups of the all the plugins) just in case changing the directory wasn’t enough but that still didn’t work.

Should I just go through the blog systematically renaming directoties to figure out where the problem is?

ditto.

I just posted this thread, I think I may have posted in the wrong section…

I just attempted to upgrade from 2.2.3 to 2.7.1. I backed up the files on the site but not the data (yes yes i know…) When trying to view any of the pages I get the following error message:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ELSE in D:\WWW\wmaastudios.org\wwwroot\data\index.php on line 51

where wmaastudios.org is the site and data is the file the blog is in. I opened my local copy of index.php and there’s only 18 lines of code so I’m completely lost as to what to do here other than attempt to revert back to the older version. Thoughts? Comments?

There isn’t anyway that this problem isnt as catastrophic as it looks right now is there?
