Blank pages showing up!

[talwyn]

I haven't made any changes to my site at all today. The forums on my site (http://bczombietag.x10hosting.com/forums/) were working earlier today and have suddenly just started showing up as blank pages for no reason. No changes were made to the files at all. Any idea what is going on?

Edit: Don't know if this helps you all, but the forums are supposed to be PHPBB3 forums. Also, all of the files are there and none of them appear to be corrupt. Could there possibly be something wrong with the PHP installation on Stoli? I know they had the recent PHP upgrade. The only thing that confuses me about that is that my website is also PHP powered and it works just fine but the forums show up as blank pages.

We are currently performing upgrades on our servers. Your site should start working soon.

Ok, I found the issue. It is a problem with the PHP configuration. The mysqli extension isn't added into the PHP configuration of the server.

All people who are currently using PHPBB3, you can make your forums work before this is fixed on the servers by editing your config.php file and changing the value of $dbms to 'mysql' instead of 'mysqli'.

Edit: Thanks Christopher. I knew there were server updates going on, but I was writing this post as you were replying haha. But there is the exact problem with what's going on and how other users may fix it until the mysqli extension is added into the PHP configuration.
