If it does, your server has been reconfigured and you need to go edit your .htaccess file(s). I didn't know about pass51's timing until multiple sites on it began failing early this morning. Any thoughts on how to better prevent downtime for our customers and prepare them better for the switch?
That server had phpsuexec in the beginning but it seemed that someone recompiled it unfortunately without enabling it again since this is a new policy we have. The server now has a message upon login to remember to enable phpsuexec and we are still hammering this new policy into our techs. So I apologize about what happened there.

For other servers that have never had phpsuexec enabled before, we post an advanced warning in the server announcements board. This has been done for Sea, Gotti, Yesenia if you'd like to check. Our newer servers unfortunately have had phpsuxec on and off a couple of times while our staff is getting used to this change, I think now it's going well and there won't be anymore problems.
