Well with renewed confidence I decided to have a go at fixing the last remaining problem with my account and to my supprise I was again successful.
Now the fact that this had not been been resolved by tech support is not entirely their fault, as it was not a problem with the server or with its configuration. Simply this problem lies with my particular php application and the fact that PHP4 was replaced with PHP5 last week, shortly after the OS reinstall on the Windows server.
So anyways as I posted the solution to my last problem I thought I would post this one too, in case anyone else is suffering with the same problem...
One of the applications I use is a PHP banner management system called PHPAdsNew. Its been very good so far and seems to be a very stable piece of software, however after the PHP upgrade it stopped working completely. If this had not happened when I was still having trouble accessing my
website hostings during the server problems at the start of last week, then I would have probably just have realised this must be related to the PHP upgrade. But to cut a long story short, I just assumed it was related to my data being restored incorrectly.
Anyways, yesterday I decided that it was going to take ages for support to work out why PHPAdsNew (PAN) wasnt functioning, so I spent some time looking for the solution myself.
I tried a couple of things found on the PAN forums and it turns out that to get PAN working on PHP5, you must have "register_long_arrays" set to "ON" in the "php.ini".
The support dept were only to happy to sort this out for me and as soon as they did, PHPAdsNew started working again!
Now Im sorted, everything is back to normal (as far as I know) and I can get back to work again
