Fatal error - Smarty

[Stel25]

Hello,

[PrestaShop] Fatal error in module file :/var/www/####/data/www/####/tools/smarty/sysplugins/smarty_internal_templatebase.php(157) : eval()'d code:
syntax error, unexpected '<', expecting end of file

I'm getting a blank page on both my frontend and backend. I have disabled smarty from the database because I dont have access to the backend.
Is there something else I can do? How can I disable completely smarty cache and compile files?

Check to like 157 in smarty_internal_templatebase.php for more info about the issue. Turn on debug mode. It should show the error cause.

Thank you,

When I set debug mode to true the same error appears in the frontend.

Is there a way to make smarty not function at all? I think it's from compiling tpl files and error on escaping some characters from a view.

Hi,

unexpected '<', expecting end of file. this symbol is used in code but it is not required you need to check it where it is and remove it.

You can open the file in the PHP editor, it will help to show the error line and mark it in red color. It will be helpful in fixing the errors in PHP files

Some web hosting file editors have featured as well to fix PHP error file

Some free editors are netbeans and visual studio code

Thank you for replying quickly!

Unfortunately this is not the case, i cheched the file and it is ok.

I suppose that this is coming from compiling a tpl file and not escaping characters while trying to compile a js script or smt like that.

To me it is happening the same thing, "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<', expecting end of file in /home/xxxxxxxxx/www/tools/smarty/sysplugins/smarty_internal_templatebase.php(157) : eval()'d code on line 1"

 

It was out of nowhere, and when i turn the smarty cache OFF its works but only after 10+ times reloading, when i turn smarty cache ON sometimes work but without menu.

check for PHP version changes on your server.

When trying to visit Admin > Modules page:

[PrestaShop] Fatal error in module file :/public_html/tools/smarty/sysplugins/smarty_internal_templatebase.php(157) : eval()'d code:

On frontend side, the menu is gone. Any help?

@Stel25 - what do u mean you solved it?

Link you have posted is info about Presta security - what it has to do with :

[PrestaShop] Fatal error in module file :/public_html/tools/smarty/sysplugins/smarty_internal_templatebase.php(157) : eval()'d code:
syntax error, unexpected '<', expecting end of file

Are u sugesting that error means that site was attacked using that vulnerability?

Can u be more clear about it pls
