Indeed! Great to be back! Congrats to the development team for getting a great developer resource back online! It has been missed.

I recently helped a customer move a self-hosted web application to a new server, also self-hosted. With a few tweaks, it was working but a couple of pages needed additional tweaking. A week later and we replaced 2 files. Suddenly, the app started crashing on those 2 pages only...all other pages worked flawlessly.

My first guess was incorrect...it was not a permissions issue. (30 minutes wasted)
My second guess was also incorrect...it was not a configuration issue. (20 minutes wasted)
My third guess was correct, but logically, it didn't make sense at the time, so I talked myself out of it.

Of course, there was only a generic 500 to start with, so walked a tech through enabling detailed errors.

We finally discovered that an include file used by 80% of the pages in the app, had somehow gone missing. The unchanged files apparently pulled it from cache while the changed files triggered a new request. Doh!

Confession: This is the last Classic ASP app I have running in the wild. It is down to 1 customer and not worth the effort of a rewrite. That said, it actually reminds me a lot of blazor, mixing tags and code. Also, it says alot that this app has mostly remained untouched for years, but still gets the job done. (earns money)

I tried reddit for a while when CP went dark, but never joined...too many rabbit holes there! I have to admit that during the 10 or so months that CP was down I got a lot more work done!

I actually joined bluesky but lost interest after a few days.

Well there goes my productivity! :) :elephant:

@code-witch Have you seen some of the old haunts that they've re-opened? Soap Box, Back Room, Clever Code...that last one sounds perfect! Good to see everyone is getting back! :)
