Hi all. I was in the process of adding three new modules; Pathauto, Token and Markdown when I pressed the save configuration button I recieved the following error:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare filefield_token_list() (previously declared in /home/content/s/e/a/seanette1/html/sites/all/modules/filefield/filefield_token.module:7) in /home/content/s/e/a/seanette1/html/sites/all/modules/filefield/filefield.token.inc on line 29.

Any idea how to recover from this? I can't get into the site at all. I'm totally dead in the water now.

Regards,

Robert

Doesn't sound like they're new modules as the old filefield module used a .module file and the new one uses a .inc file... Either run update.php or just delete the entire filefield_token module set (obviously leaving the .inc file).

Thank you , thank you, thank you....that did it. I didn't want to have re-create the entire site again.. (I hadn't downloaded the site or backed up the database yet. ) I will make sure that only current modules are used in the future.

Best regards,

Robert

I had the same problem and just deleted the .module file. Thanks Robert.

Worked for me just now too. Major heart attack averted.

....after a minor heart attack on seeing my entire site reduced to the above fatal error line - I redeployed the beta 3.0 tar and thank god, my site came back! Still not clear on why the later FF upgrade killed the site. I had virtually the same message as above. If I had not seen this original post I likely would not have had the guts to drop in the old file again - thanks greatly for the original post! I am beginning to realize that even when things look really really bad - if you keep cool - you can recover!
