PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class cache

Which error log is the current one though? My cache folder has like 100. The last numbered one says :

[09-Feb-2011 17:28:22] PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class cache in /home/snk429/public_html/includes/classes/cache.php on line 215


here's a screenshot of the referenced line :


do i just remove the character on line 215?

I tried deleting the character on line 215 and it just made my site go down. Re added the { and the site went back up.
My site works, just the admin area doesn't. gives me a 500 error still

What version of Zen Cart is being used?

Did this problem just start or has it been there since install?

[snk429]

Newest version.

It started a few days ago. Worked fine for weeks. and it stopped working after I made no changes, just all of sudden stopped.

"cannot redeclare class" tells you that it's trying to load the same file a second time when it's never intended to do so.
So, that means you've got something in one or more of your site files that's throwing the code into a loop.
Common causes of such would include:
- making a backup of a php file by renaming abcd.php to abcd-bak.php instead of deleting the ".php" from the end of the backup file's name
- poorly written addons
- incorrectly installed addons
- rogue activity on the site: http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.p...ing_From_Hacks
- damaged files: http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.p...Obscure_Issues

OH yeah I did try installing zentagcloud or some taging addon.
I'll delete that right now.
