Trying to fix something and lost everything

[Lmyers]

I was trying to fix the forum we have on our website and in doing so was installing a forum module during this I lost my CMS and my website. This is the error I received:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM in /imedia/users/veraasi/htdocs/modules/FrontEndUsers/FrontEndUsers.module.php on line 323

Cant get into the main login for CMS so do not have a clue on how to fix this. ANY HELP would be appreciated.

Possible reason is that you PHP version is not compatible to updated FrontEndUsers module.
Best advice is before "trying to fix something" do a Backup, hopefully you got one, then revert back to working version.

You can try to rename FrontEndUsers module folder in "modules" folder to something invalid like FrontEndUsers~ that should remove that error and you should be able to log in again.
You may be lucky and module database wasn't updated yet, then you could download FrontEndUsers module version you had previously installed and upload to "modules" folder.

good luck

Thanks for your reply the problem is I cannot get into CMS anymore, I get that same message. Any suggestions?

It's a typical error when you are running PHP 5.2 and you need PHP 5.3
Solution: rename the installed forummodule with FTP

Is there anyone who can help me get the CMS admin area where you add content, pages, etc.

When I go to
http://www.accessingsafety.org/admin/login.php
I get this error message: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM in /imedia/users/veraasi/htdocs/modules/FrontEndUsers/FrontEndUsers.module.php on line 323

Which means I am unable to change anything, modules, codes etc. within CMS because I cannot log in.

I had the same issue and fixed it. The problem was caused by an unexpected PHP version change from my hosting service. They told me that the domain server restarted and thus caused the PHP setting to go back to default. Once the PHP version was updated again, the site came back. Hope this helps if anyone is having the same issue in the future.
