Package: wordpress
Version: 3.6.1+dfsg-1~deb7u18
Initial report of failure to access the Wordpress site - Apache showing Error
500
Apache error.log shows:
[Wed Nov 01 10:32:53 2017] [error] [client xx.xx.xx.xx] PHP Parse error:
syntax error, unexpected end of file in
/usr/share/wordpress/wp-includes/ms-functions.php on line 2016
Did the following:
downloaded and unpacked the package:
# cd /var/tmp
# apt-get download wordpress=3.6.1+dfsg-1~deb7u18
# dpkg-deb -x wordpress_3.6.1+dfsg-1~deb7u18_all.deb .
verified syntax error:
# php usr/share/wordpress/wp-includes/ms-functions.php
PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected end of file in
/var/tmp/usr/share/wordpress/wp-includes/ms-functions.php on line 2016
counted braces:
# fgrep { usr/share/wordpress/wp-includes/ms-functions.php | wc
138 1000 7226
# fgrep } usr/share/wordpress/wp-includes/ms-functions.php | wc
137 279 1728
laboriously found mismatch and made correction:
# cp -p ms-functions.php ms-functions.php_20171107
# vi ms-functions.php
# diff ms-functions.php_20171107 ms-functions.php

-
> // add_action('update_option_blog_public', 'update_blog_public', 10, 2);
The first change removes the syntax error (and hopefully preserves what was
intended) but leaves an oddity...
Note that there is also a spurious(?) source line not enclosed in any function
- is it supposed to be there? I doubt it!
