Nothing I've noticed intermittently checking in throughout the morning.

I'll keep an eye on it. I think I've got a handle on what is causing things to revert every time I fix it now.

It is starting to seriously do my head in. There must be something in the legacy code somewhere that prompts it to reset every time a particular time frame has passed but I'm not sure what. No amount of troubleshooting is seeming to stop it.

Luckily server renewal is in a couple of weeks so I might just take our business elsewhere entirely.

Fucked again for quite some time tonight, and I had to fart around with my browser cache before it'd let me back in again.

The forum will likely be offline for a time today as I run some updates which will hopefully fix this problem for good.

Sorry all that are still encountering this on a frequent basis. I've got a different solution lined up in the long term but will need some time to iron it out.

What's the complication around this? Seems like "PHP Web Hosting" is the sort of thing any hosting company in the world couldn't fuck up.

Downloading empty files again from around 16:30, spoke about it with Pew Pew on the Discord for a bit. Then it came back around 16:39, but was fucked again at 16:41…

Yeah that was caused by me making changes, should be up and running to its 'normal' state now.

I need to have a word with the providers to ensure that the server they're running supports our version of phpbb as I've ruled out the initial problem I thought it was. I'm anticipating that their answer will be that it is supported, which will mean there is something going awry on my side which I just can't fathom.

Oh.

Well, given the headers that I see, I'm 99% sure that something is changing the Apache config and removing mod_php, because clients should never see "application/x-httpd-php" as the content type. So, presumably something is restoring what it considers to be the "correct" config, perhaps on a schedule? Do you know how PHP was enabled? Usually there'll be an extra config file which is picked up by the main one. If the main one itself was perhaps changed instead, I could see this sort of thing happening…
