Parserror message | Forum

In two of our sections, Blogs and The Wall, we get the parserror message. In case of the blogs, it is during the commenting stage that this error message appears. Can somebody please help?

I haven't made any changes to my website in the last two days.

There is another forum topic on this here http://www.oxwall.org/forum/topic/7468?page=1 but I don't see any resolution.

Would really appreciate any insight you can offer.

Thank you.

If you have Firebug with Firefox, you can try to debug the reason for the parse error.

I ran firebug once the error message appeared but I don't see the reason for it.

How do I debug?

Shreya, can you verify my account on your site? I would be glad to firebug this issue, but currently I don't have access to your site.

Wall: open firebug (click on console>>all), refresh the page. Try typing something into the wall.

Blog: open firebug (click on console>>all), refresh the page, start commenting.
If there are any errors they will appear under the following section of "Firebug"

Alia - have verified your account.

Here's a screenshot of the error message in Firebug.

Thank you.

Thank you Shreya for activating my account.

I have a slightly different firebug report ( see bellow).
As you can see before the system tries to post the wall comment it is trying to reach 500phtml page.
Because of this you can't see the real error.

Enable DEBUG MODE using instructions from here http://www.oxwall.org/forum/topic/4661 .
This way the system will go straight to the error message and by pass the 500phtml.
Let me know the results:

I did what you suggested (change value from false to true) and here's the error message. Hope it helps.

Shreya, did you install/update any of the plugins lately?

Shreya Tili Feb 5 '13
Alia, no. No admin work has been carried out for the past couple of weeks. I have only moved one block on the homepage from bottom to top.

Hi Alia - we are still getting the parserror error message. Any idea what can be done?

Shreya,  enable DEBUG mode again. Run firebug.
Find following line in firebug and open it ( click on "+" next to the line).



Once the line is opened click on the "HTML" tab.



Let me know what is the content under this tab.
