Hi there I am the webmaster of http://www.infousamagazine.com which is running the PHPCOW script. It's nothing fancy just a news portal with a couple of youtube scripts but mostly articles with pictures.

Yesterday when we tried adding a new article everything looked like it was working fine as usual and then the website just started displaying a white page for the start page. I checked on a tester website to make sure the the site or server is down and everything works. When I go to switch the site off it displays the usual under construction page so I know that's working too. We tried removing the article thinking it was the problem but that didn't work either. Still stuck on a white page.

I tried calling our host service and the tech support person was very rude to say the least saying that there is a lot of "garbage" that needs to be looked at and that I would have to reload my index page but I have no idea what he's talking about.

Has anyone experienced this? What can I do to get my site to display again? Thanks!

(btw. I tried it from different computers and different ISPs so I know I'm not having an issue with the web browser)
One more thing.

I managed to access the host site error log and this is what shows up when you attempt to load the site.

Well I solved the problem. Somehow the template went out of whack for no reason so hitting the save button somehow brought everything back in working order.


However lately I had a new problem pop up. I cannot modify,change, or add any new pictures on the site. When I try to upload or change the current pictures using the image editor icon it goes through the regular motions but nothing happens. What is happening here? How do I fix it?

Thanks!!!
