Zend is some crappy PHP encoder that costs nearly $1000 dollars, I have a feeling that something fishing happened here.

Hope you come right rpm

Looks like the cms is encoded and you need Zend optimizer to be able to run it. Was someone fiddling with the server? Doing upgrades perhaps?

Funny thing is you do have Zend optimizer installed on the server. Maybe the cms app has expired or something?

Hi Fergus

Zend is indeed there and the CMS should be fine. We will inform you as soon as we find out what the problem is...

Regards,

RPM

rpm apparently if any of the encoded files got corrupted it could show this error. Perhaps try deleting the php code and doing a fresh install (just remember to save your config files).

No idea... Looks like one of the files were changed just after 10pm. It is most likely a CMS problem which is obviously of concern, but will know for certain tommorow.

Lol, the front page is now blank, am I to assume that you guys have "optimised" the front page so that it will have less effect on the 3gb cap... :)

Hi folks

I might have found a possible cause for the downtime, but maybe the PHP and web gurus can comment on it. When we set up the server we assigned only 2G for the domain mybroadband.co.za. This space ran out yesterday, and I suspect that the CMS could not overwrite certain files successfully, and hence corrupted files occurred. Is this plausible?

A big thanks must go to Hetzner for all their help.

Regards,

RPM

Not sure about corrupting files, but I know mysql behaves very strangely when it runs out of space. Could've been your problem.

Zend is the scripting engine that PHP uses

*edit* Sorry, missed the "encoder" part.
