How do you take out welcome to aa box .com

Both on the mainpage and up top in the microsoft internet explorer bar

You can never take it out

LOL... Seriously, it is an easy matter of editing /catalog/includes/languages/english/index.php

Well, this is pretty weird. I have swapped 'Welcome to AABox.com's MS2-MAX' for 'Site Under Construction' and when I visit the site, I get:
Parse error: parse error in /home/y3llow/public_html/catalog/includes/languages/english/index.php on line 13

But I haven't changed line 13! The file is exactly as it was except for that piece of text. Check it:

Please, what is happening here?

Did you get it figured out? Which portion did you edit? I loaded the file into my editor and line 13 goes all the way down to this line:

single quote characters exist:<br><br><nobr>define('TEXT_MAIN', '');</nobr><br><br>More

[Benedetti]

Thanks for your interest, annea03.

I have compared the original file and the file that I have changed and the only difference is really that now says 'Site Under Construction' where before said 'Welcome to AABox.com's MS2-MAX'. But if now I go back and put 'Welcome to AABox.com's MS2-MAX' to where it was, I still get the same error message. It puzzles me.

[DMG]

This means you probably have a missing single quote or too many. Try changing this code.

ollowing example is used where only two single quote characters exist:<br><br><nobr>define('TEXT_MAIN', '');</nobr><br><br>More information concerning the PHP define() function can be read <a href="http://www.php.net/define" tar

The define('TEXT_MAIN', '') should be define(\'TEXT_MAIN\', \'\')

As always I will say "I am on expert at osC so make a backup copy!.

[Benedetti]

Thanks for your help. Unfortunately, it didn't make any difference.

[michael_s]

How about restoring the original, and trying again.

You messed something up. It is a simple change that should not cause any errors.

[Benedetti]

Yeah, I know, it sounds crazy, isn't it? I've restored the original file many times and then everything works fine. But when I change a simple word of text, boom!

I know it is difficult to believe it because I can't believe it myself and I am witnessing it! I suppose the only way out here is reinstall.

[michael_s]

I have edited that file hundreds of times and never have had an error.

If you would be willing to create an FTP account for me, I would be happy to check it out personally. If you are ok with that, PM me the FTP info, and I will take a look today.
