Was it not off-line last night?

I went to bed around midnight and could not access the site from around 11.20pm.

First it was unavailable and then later it showed as a php fault, same as this morning.

Well, I've spent the day working... damn!

Yes some weird PHP error came up, turns out my web hosting company turned off allowing URL includes in the server PHP settings.

Would have been nice if they had told me before effectively taking my site down!

Not good. Any change to php.ini should be thought through carefully and customers informed.

Yes, apparently Apache stopped working sorry about that

I bought this hosting at they were supposed to be vBulletin specialists but obviously this isn't acceptable.

They say they have changed some settings this morning so will keep a close eye to see how it goes.

I hope I don't have to move again....

Admin, you should ask your host for restart privilages, I insist on them on all my hosting accounts now. I can restart apache, mysql, dns, everything when things play up, which mean I can fixed lots of basic problems by logging into the whm.

Worth looking into ?

I have that already but was at the park enjoying the sunshine most of the afternoon so didn't know it was down...
