Snippetmaster was working, now getting index.php is corrupt message

[acurran]

Hello,
I installed Snippetmaster a few days ago and it worked fine (apart from some extraneous warning messages, most likely due to PHP reporting levels set high). I was able to log in to admin area and update settings etc., also able to make updates to snippets.

Today I tried to access the admin area and I am getting this message:
The encoded file C:\Sites\Single43\irishrockers\webroot\hungersmother\cms\index.php is corrupt.

I searched here in this forum for this error message but the only threads relating to corrupt seemed to be pointing the finger at lack of support on the web host for zend or ioncube. But since the install was successfull and it already was working I don't think this could be the case.

Any ideas what might be causing this and how to solve?

Thanks,
Aidan

It is most likely that either:

1) Your web hosting provider has changed the version of Zend on the server, so that now something is not working...

2) Your provider has somehow messed up the files on your account so that they are now indeed corrupted.

What you should do is run the autoinstaller and "re-install" all the files for Snippetmaster.  Don't worry -- as long as you have an existing database, no data will get overwritten.  (Only the snippetmaster program files will get re-installed.)

If that doesn't work, then ask your web host if they have recently changed anything on the server..

I am 100% positive the problem is with something your web host has done.  Software doesn't just stop working for no reason whatsoever, so there must be a change somewhere... and since you did not do it, then this leaves only one possible culprit. 

If you get stuck with anything, let me know and I'll do my best to assist.

Cheers!

Running the autoinstall again fixed it. Thanks for speedy response!
