Have you tried uploading and accessing any non-Drupal content on that host? That should be a very informative troubleshooting step. Try HTML and PHP content to see if there is any difference.
It could also be a permissions issue.

Hi all!
I have a very strange issue, and my host INSISTS the problem is with the PHP code of Drupal (can you believe that - I know Drupal well enough to know it is not!)
Here is the situation:
Thursday, 7 Sept 2006, ~ 17:45 GMT+2:
Site worked FINE! I have just uploaded it, made some minor adjustments to the configuration file, and then continued to browse the site, simply checking for spelling mistakes and ommissions to the site. Suddenly the site went dead. As in "page not found". Like the A-record is wrong, but it is definately okay, as shown by the control panel. I can still log in to the FTP, and I can still access the control panel. But the www gives "page not found". This sounds suspiciously like something on the server.
After that I've downloaded Drupal 4.7.3 again, reinstalled all the files from scratch, with the exception of settings.php and the theme, checked the database (optimize, repair, etc.) and the site still doesn't work, so it's not Drupal related, I am sure of that.
The site also works on my localhost. So I am not sure what could be wrong...
It is now a week later, and the site is still down.
I was hoping someone here has experienced something like this before and can tell me what I can do.
The host is running Windows/IIS.
Regards and thanks,
Kobus
