HTML Parse Error on database migration

[tyler-deboer]

I installed a new version of Craft on a staging server and imported my SQL database in from my .dev local environment (where PMM is working great). Now when I try loading a page I'm getting this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in /var/www/html/craft/plugins/pimpmymatrix/services/PimpMyMatrixService.php on line 142

I'm guessing this had to be because of a database issue, because it asked me to update my database immediately when I went to the Craft Control Panel on the new server after I cloned all the necessary files and imported the database. Any ideas on how to start fresh with PMM? Are there certain DB tables I need to reset and/or delete?

Hmm weird. I'm not totally sure I understand what exactly is going on here but all the tables you need to hunt down are as follows:

• craft_plugins - remove the PMM row
• craft_pimpmymatrix* - remove any tables that start with this
• craft_migrations - remove the rows that mention PMM

Let me know how that goes!

Hey @tyler-deboer any luck with this? Can I close the issue?

[tyler-deboer]

I think so yeah! Cleared all the related tables/rows from the database, reinstalled, and everything worked great. Not sure what happened on the migration but it must have been something on my end. Thanks!

No worries, glad you got it sorted :)
