Hello,

I'm running http://enoughstupid.com on Godaddy and I am having a problem with this error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/content/e/n/o/enough5/html/index.php on line 44

At one point if I would upgrade or downgrade my Drupal version and everything would work happily for a day or so and then this error message came back.

Then I decided to back up the database, uninstall Drupal, reinstall it and then restore my database.

This worked... for a few days. Now I'm back to the same issue/error.

Checking the source for index.php everything looks peachy. Then again I know includes, etc are happening so I have no real idea what would be on line 44 for real. I'm wondering if I should be checking my database for something wonky?

Thoughts?

Hello

Check your page.tpl.php in your drupal theme for any error.

Good suggestion, but this isn't it either. To test this out I backed up my current custom theme then I copied a different theme to that folder. Still getting the same errors.

At this point I'm wondering if it's a plugin that I'm using... I'll have to look into how to disable plugins next.

Ok tried that but no dice. I did notice a bunch of registered users from mail.ru and some comment spam... though that may be a red herring... dropped those records from the db anyway. Didn't help.

So here's something interesting... cron.php:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function system_get_files_database() in /home/content/e/n/o/enough5/html/includes/module.inc on line 101
Not really sure where this system_get_files_database() function is... or if it should even be there.

index.php does not even have 44 lines in drupal 6.

Check that your (s)ftp account on the server has not been compromised. Often this leads to some random crap being appended to index.php and breaking it. Try changing your password, running an antivirus on your local computer, etc.

EDIT: see also http://drupal.org/node/213320 especially the bit about FTP accounts.
