pages won't open

[farcticox1]

Some pages won't open for me like Short Question topic, I get HTTP 500 error, is it me ?

[mrfoo]

Not just you. There's something very b0rked.

[squid]

Yeah same here

[farcticox1]

could be a link thing, I had to try different links until I got here this time

[hectmarr]

Is the same for me

I thought so, and it seemed to be that for a while specifically with some more complex links (trying to access a particular post in a thread, for example), but I'm getting random 500s even on direct access to this thread. I fully expect my submit of this to work, but then redirect me to a 500.

[mrfoo]

It certainly seems that any access to viewtopic.php with the 'p' parameter set causes a 500.

viewtopic.php?f=6&t=27162 gets me to this thread mostly OK, but viewtopic.php?p=388828#p388828, which should take me to the first post of the thread hard 500s.

Hey guys, trying to deal with this - my apologies for the delays.

[MrCrowley]

Long time, no see PCGUY!

This is the only thread that opens for me, all the other threads I open show a completely blank (white) page. No errors in console either. Have tried on mobile and MacBook, both using Chrome.

Is this related to the issue described here or something else?

[PCGUY]

Honestly, my web hosts support on this matter has been awful. Here we are all this time later and I am still attempting to demonstrate the problem. Needless to say, PCGUY is not pleased. My hands are a bit tied. I did move SpudFiles to a less costly hosting package, the trade off was that I was no longer in full control of the server. I never expected to run into a problem like this, then have my webhosts support fizzle into nothingness.

I am fairly sure this is related to a server software upgrade that is outside of my control. There are PHP modules throwing errors that so far, I have been able to do little about. Even some basic (non-forum) pages have failed loading due to this.

[PCGUY]

Even my replies to this thread result in a white page, but the posts actually still post!

[farcticox1]

I open my messages for this reply and got white page of death, WPOD, went through 'my posts'link and I got here ok

[mrfoo]

All appears to be working again for me, many thanks to @PCGUY

[farcticox1]

Still getting WPOD depending on which route I take.

[hectmarr]

Follow the problem in my case. On some pages, like "The short question", I get a white screen, and only that.
