My UBB.classic (latest version) went down a few hours ago, and I'm still waiting to hear from A Small Orange to see if they made any changes on the server. All my other sites are fine, just the UBB is down.

I'm hoping maybe these lines in my error log would provide a clue as I wait. Any ideas what could have caused this? Because all was working just fine until the server went down and back up after a couple minutes. What's FastCGI?

My greatest fear is that they upgraded something on the server than UBB.classic doesn't like! And with 3000+ members, I don't like the downtime. <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Server:

Operating system Linux
Service Status Click to View [all OK]
Kernel version 2.4.21-32.0.1.EL
Machine Type i686
Apache version 1.3.33 (Unix)
PERL version 5.8.0
Path to PERL /usr/bin/perl
Path to sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail
PHP version 4.3.11
MySQL version 4.0.24-standard-log

Anything look suspicious? Also - They're thinking of upgrading to MySQL 4.1 -- would that effect UBB.classic in any way?

Thanks for any clues,
