Fatal error: fatal flex scanner internal error--end of buffer missed in /home/content/20/7071920/htm

Hello. Today, when I tried to go Into my site that's hosted by GoDaddy - it's a wordpress site - I'm getting the following error:

Fatal error: fatal flex scanner internal error--end of buffer missed in /home/content/20/7071920/html/wp-config.php on line 36

As far as I know, nothing has been changed other than an update was automatically done on 11/29 via an email I got.  It was updated to WordPress 4.9.1.

I cannot get to the site nor can I get to the wpadmin part of the site to even backout any of these updates.

Please help!!!

Hey Harterkc,

I found this thread that seems to have helped a lot of people.

http://johnlamansky.com/tech/php-fatal-flex-scanner-internal-error/

At the very end of it they suggest:

"I got the same error message but I can’t acess anything anymore, I can’t even log in on my wordpress panel to change the code.

1. What do I do??

   The message I get is the following one Fatal error: fatal flex scanner internal error–end of buffer missed in /home/compl962/public_html/wp-content/themes/accesspress-lite/functions.php on line 104"

   You’ll have to use an FTP client, or your web host’s file manager in the control panel, to rename the “accesspress-lite” folder. That will disable your current theme so you can log in to your WordPress again.

   Then elsewhere in the thread they mention that in one of the related files there is/are unclosed comment/s. A missing */ or what

   Change all lines beginning with:

   /**

   to

    /*

   only that!

   (I sent find and replace on all the files and go!)
   example:

   /**  <------ should be 1 * not 2. (don't include this comment..;)
   * Lorem ipsum
   * Lorem ipsum dolor
   * Ipsum sit amet
   */

   should be:

   /*
   * Lorem ipsum
   * Lorem ipsum dolor
   * Ipsum sit amet
   */

   Anyway, it's all in that thread.. I'm sick of dealing with my problems so this was a nice break..;) Hope what all those other guys wrote helps..;)

   Best,
