NOTE: Thanks to a kind offer from a forum member, I am currently making arrangements for bdjforum to be moved to a co-located server to ensure future reliability. More news to follow…
Unfortunately the server ran out of space a few days back and caused Ubuntu to crash. Clearing space quickly bought everything back up except bdjforum. I am unsure what the problem is at the moment, having taken the following actions so far:
- Standard checks and repairs on the mySQL database, which showed no errors.
- Checked the Apache2 and PHP logs which again show no errors.
- Added some debug output to index.php to confirm that it is being processed, which it is.
At the moment phpBB3 is merely giving blank output. I have backed up the database and am trying to repair the forum as my first priority, even if this means a reinstall over the weekend. I know this will be an inconvenience to some daily users, so I will keep you posted.
The next thing I will try is clearing the phpBB3 cache folders which may have cached blank or truncated output due to the previous lack of space. If anyone has any suggestions I am keen to hear them…
