It's the only server-side code I can run on $superCheapWebhost. Though, now that I think about it, I have an ASP.NET hosting plan for my gamedev business site that is basically unused.

@error I'd ask what
/var/log/httpd/ssl_error_log
has to say on the matter, but given that you're on cheap shared hosting you probably don't have access to that.

This was important information. It's possible that the server configuration was only set up for PHP in one directory and other directories run into issues (either intentional, because cheap hosting, or "this relative path is being followed from the wrong directory and not finding something important", because cheap hosting). You may need to check on the effective server configuration (i.e.
.htaccess
) andphp.ini
.

@Zerosquare Uh, can you link to the post you're answering to? Reading back the last few screenfulls I can't see anything related to what I've posted about recently.
As far as I remember I had three recent sub-threads in the Help Bites, "laptop doesn't hibernate", "share Windows folder between work/home computers" and "find which DLL was missing." But none of those match the recent-ish posts here?
Or I'm ing on some subtler reference...

Status: My son was having trouble with his computer's WiFi connection all day. (Apparently, it started some time last night.) And due to where the broadband connection is, a wired connection isn't possible without an ethernet cable across the living room floor, so it's WiFi dongles for the desktop PCs. He already tried the usual, unplugging and replugging the dongle, rebooting, resetting the router, etc.
The stats he was seeing from a speed test weren't awful — ping times under 30 ms, download speed of 30-something Mbps, upload speed around 20 Mbps — pretty typical for our connection, but he was unable to play online games, video or even voice calls, or attend his online classes. However, connecting to a Discord voice call and mousing over the connection indicator showed ping times mostly in the low double-digit ms, but frequent spikes over 2000 ms. Meanwhile, I was online all day with no problems.
Tonight he asked for my help troubleshooting. I suggested the usual stuff he'd already tried. He asked if he could try using my WiFi dongle; I was mildly annoyed, because I was trying to surf, but I said ok. He plugged my WiFi dongle into his computer, and it Just Worked™, without needing to install any new drivers. And speed test roughly doubled upload and download speeds — almost close to the bandwidth I'm paying for; I've never seen speeds that high in the year we've been living here. Maybe because fewer devices sharing the bandwidth? (My computer was offline.)
No, with mine still offline, his original dongle gave him the same bad connection he had before.
Some more experimentation. We tried my dongle on his computer and his on mine. Surprise, we both got double the bandwidth we'd been getting with our own dongles, and video conferencing was smooth (well, as smooth as you expect Discord/Zoom/whatever to be). Gaming was maybe still a little laggy, but much better than an hour earlier.
I have no explanation for why swapping WiFi dongles improved the connection for both of us, , but for now it seems to be a win/win.

Status: is my ISP me?
My connection was down this morning, so I rebooted the router, waited a bit, rebooted again, went for a full reset (that's what they had me do it when it happened a month ago), waited again, got annoyed and slightly angry at all that.
Finally, after a couple of hours (doing other stuff in between, I'm not entirely stuck, but still), I called them, and they immediately said "oh we're sorry, there's an incident in your area, we're working on it." Oh. Right. That happens, not a huge deal (as long as it doesn't happen too often...), though it would be nice if they had a webpage where I could check that before getting angry and/or calling them (other ISPs do), and I told them so. That'll get in the blackhole of "things support people tell they take a note of but never do" but that's all I can do anyway.
But then, just as the lady was apologising to me for the disruption, I saw the lights on my box come back, and all is working again!
So option 1 is that they just happened to fix the problem at that moment (after all, they'd been working on it since early morning, according to her, so it was bound to be fixed at some point). Option 2 is /, they flipped a switch on their end when I called them but without telling me so.
I'm not sure which one I'd prefer, actually, since option 2 means they could have fixed my problem much earlier had I called them then (it also means they can mess up with my connection at will, but they're my ISP, so of course they can, nothing new here).

@Tsaukpaetra said in The Official Status Thread:

Try the cable first. Or even just unplugging the cable (at both ends) and plugging it back in. Fixing the GPU is going to be a lot more cost.
