    Hi There,

    Hoping that someone might be able to help.

    Today my site stopped appearing completely, only white blank pages are being shown. No changes to the site have been made for weeks so I am unsure what has happened. When I go into manager whenever I try and edit a page I am again met with a blank box, unable to view or edit any details.

    Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions?

    Am using ModX 1.0.2

      Sudden weirdness like that often is the result of the server changing something like perhaps php version. I'd start with the server, check php version and content of php.ini files. If you see a php.ini backup file that wasn't there previously, it's mighty suspect.

      Oh, and also look at .htaccess. Compare to an old copy if you have one.

        Think your right. Surpass (the hosts) replied with:

        It appears your CMS is attempting to use Zend Optimizer, which is no longer utilized with PHP 5.3.

        PHP 5.3.20 (cli) (built: Jan 13 2013 22:07:01)

        Do you have the latest version of your CMS? Thank you for your patience today and please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.

        Does this seem right? Nice to have warning of an upgrade too!

          Sounds about typical. Don't expect the server to notify you of anything.

          I would however seriously consider upgrading MODX.

          See the latest version announcement and info about the security vulnerability here:
