BiggTim Posted Wednesday at 05:09 PM Posted Wednesday at 05:09 PM Does that mean someone else could snag the domain after it expires?

The 500 error could be due to an incompatible version of php for the website package. Chances are that won't happen by server admin or site owner/s and the site is in memorium... 😔

All it takes is for an automated update to take the software beyond what the server provides, and it's game over. It can go the other way, too, where the server gets an update that creates incompatibilities with legacy applications running on it - and you can bet that the CMS running the Wingnut Wings website would be in a legacy state by now!

Kev Indeed. I have had many a grumpy message from site owners when cpanel has one of its myriad updates and things break. Generally no biggie, but to site owners... 😬😬😬😬

Christa Posted Thursday at 06:20 AM Author Posted Thursday at 06:20 AM Gentlemen, I honour you for sharing your knowledge. I believed that viewing Wingnut Wings' amazing website during its healthy years was a simple matter, as everyday ordinary and uncomplicated as a brain scan, hip replacement, wide bodied jet safe landing in an increasing cross wind or childbirth. Argh! A little of my ignorance has been lanced like a blister. Though somewhat sad about maybe losing such a high quality resource, I fell better. Thank you all. Chris Shoggz 1

mattlow Posted Thursday at 10:45 AM Posted Thursday at 10:45 AM I just had a go at The Vintage Aviator website (another PJ's operations). Got a page full of HTML code... maybe this is connected somehow? Maybe PJ is pulling out of everything? Have a look here: https://thevintageaviator.co.nz/ Matt

Have a look here: https://thevintageaviator.co.nz/ Matt I'd be very surprised if they're not hosted on the same server, so both sites having server issues is not surprising. The only thing that is (surprising), is that the errors themselves are different. Kev mattlow 1

Could be other things, but there's no connection to the database. mattlow 1
