Website Not Displaying Properly

wbbuilder — Oct 28, 2017, 05:54 PM

My client is running revo version 2.3.3 (I know I need to upgrade after this issue). The website is not displaying properly: http://www.skywardltd.com/

According to the client, they were working on the contacts page only adding a new employee before their site went down. But the website looks like there is a larger issue at play, other than just a POSSIBLE messed up HTML page edited from a non-webmaster in the admin resources page tree. I do have all pages, templates and chunks backed up from a year ago.

The error logs have this many times over from 2016-12-28 - 2017-8-14:

/SERVER PATH HERE/xpdo/xpdo.class.php : 3043) SQLSTATE[HY000] [2006] MySQL server has gone away

Yet the front end of the website shows invalid certificate. The backup they have is over a year old, so I want to see if I can remedy this before contacting their hosting company about a possible backup. Where should I look first to see why this website is not showing?

when the server is overloaded, the speed may drop, but this is a temporary phenomenon. Maybe problems with the hosting? I first moved the site to a hosting, but he hung up, then gave errors. But it was found only through the monitoring service https://www.host-tracker.com/, the notification came that the site is falling, and it turned out that my hosting in black lists, so there were problems. Try to follow your site through the service, if there are errors, it will automatically restart the engine on the hosting. It's convenient.

Thanks BobRay. The hosting platform they are using is Network Solutions so your assessment is probably spot on. At least from my experience their servers are always slow especially during peak hours.

Earlier today I loaded the site in my browser and it showed a blank homepage. Immediately, reloaded the page and the site was showing normally. So I wouldn't be surprised if their database and or server files has performance issues or are overused. I suppose this is the price for using Network Solutions.

It could just be that your server's DB is overloaded, especially if it's a shared server.

Site is back up. Kept going back to why the HTTPS setting was turned on, where there is no security certificate installed. Turns out under system settings this key:

URL Generation Scheme

was set to -1. I changed the setting to http and now the site shows fine.

But it still does not explain why I the reoccurring error in my error logs:

/SERVER PATH HERE/xpdo/xpdo.class.php : 3043) SQLSTATE[HY000] [2006] MySQL server has gone away
