[osCmax V2.0.25] URGENT! I edited one line of one file and now my site won't load!

[Shortbus]

I edited one line of templates/fallback/content/advanced_search_result.tpl.php from this...

<td class="pageHeading"><?php echo HEADING_TITLE_2; ?></td>

to this...

<td class="pageHeading"><?php echo strtoupper($keywords) . " -- " . HEADING_TITLE_2; ?></td>

and it disabled my entire site! My site has been running perfectly since 4am and when I made this edit about 10 minutes ago, the entire site stopped and will load only a blank screen. I returned the edit back to the default oscmax setting, but my site is still gone!

"templates/fallback/content/advanced_search_result.tpl.php"
I've coded it so that anyone who dares to change anything in the fallback template, gets a blank screen. (I wish!)
If you restore the original file and clear your browser cache, then you should be back to normal.

I had tried all those and unfortunately they did nothing.

Even my brother in another state said my site isn't loading.

Then take a deep breath and check your error logs. Or change the setting in application_top.php to display all errors on the screen. That will tell you what the problem is.

I've searched high and low on how to "change the setting in application_top.php to display all errors". Unfortunately it's not very intuitive so I've no idea how to do that. I found this, but don't know how to use it...

// set the level of error reporting
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~'E_DEPRECATED');

The cPanel error log has rows and rows of "file does not exist" like so...

You can show error messages in your store by simply commenting out the line suppressing the errors. You have found the right bit - now just put // in front of it as per the line above.

// set the level of error reporting
//error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~'E_DEPRECATED');

You will then see the error - post it here and we will help you undo the mistake.

Sorry, I never got an email notice that you replied to this so I didn't put your recommendation to the test. What I did was re-upload the entire /includes/ directory and all was working again.
