No website

My website disappeared a few days ago. Still waiting for Plusnet business support to find the problem.
It can't be that difficult. Its a PHP site.
I get to the a page if i type in www.site.co.uk/file.html but not if i type in www.site.co.uk or www.site.co.uk/index.php.
Surely this looks like php not working and should be easy to fix.
Perhaps someone can give me hope.

Re: No website

Looks like it's being blocked by a server-side firewall:
~$ curl www.[REDACTED].co.uk
<html><head><title>Request Rejected</title></head><body>The requested URL was rejected. If you think this is an error, please contact the webmaster. <br><br>Your support ID is: 553460747172982783</body></html>

I'll raise a ticket with our hosting suppliers.

Thanks Bob.
I did raise a ticket with Plusnet support but nothing much has been done as far as I can see.

Re: No website

Think I might have been a bit quick of the mark with my assumption. I wasn't using the right switches with that cURL command. If I identify the user agent it hangs like it does in a browser:
~$ curl -H "User-Agent: Firefox/40.0" -H "Accept: */*" www.[REDACTED].co.uk

Trying that with another CGI-hosted website, I get the expected result:
~$ curl -H "User-Agent: Firefox/40.0" -H "Accept: */*" [REDACTED].net
<html>
<head>
<title>Yay!</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
<div align="center">
  <p>&nbsp;</p>
  <p>&nbsp;</p>
  <p>&nbsp;</p>
  <p><img src="win.gif">
  </p>
</div>

We'll see what our suppliers make of it...

Re: No website

The  hoster said its nothing to do with them and it must be my CMS
However the same CMS is working for me on other website . I downloaded the whole site and it works ok locally..
If a simple file like phpinfo.php doesn't work then surely it's not my CMS

Re: No website

Access to phpinfo is blocked by security policy.
Does your site use PHP sessions? I suspect there might be problems with these.

Re: No website

If sessions are used you'll find a call to session_start(); near the top of most of the PHP files. Sessions are used to pass state information between pages, for example visitor preferences and identities and that they have logged in.

Re: No website

The site seems to be working for me this morning. Are you still having problems?
