EasyPopulate 4.0 Support Thread

[jeking]

Friends, I'm using version v1.5.5e. (yeah, I know...) but I have like 50 sites and upgrading is going to be a massive undertaking, so I'm still there. Until a few days ago, this mod worked perfectly, has worked perfectly for years. Now I'm getting this error each time I choose "easy populate 4" from my tools menu:



Any ideas what may have changed on my hosting server perhaps? This behavior is consistent across ALL of my sites, and has been this way for several days. Everything else is working fine on the site.

Check, or ask you host to check, modsecurity rules. They have have been updated. A 503 error will happen if modsecurity is blocking the action. There are, of course, many other reasons for a 503, but I have seen this happen.

Thank you, I'll check w/ godaddy.

They are going to give you a bunch of gibberish BUT, ask them about the MySQL connection that is being used for your sites.

Not only did they drop PHP 5.4 and 5.6 (later to reinstated after customers complained) , they also changed the database connections from MySQL to MySQLi. All without telling the customer.

It is a better connection BUT, for some reason, you get a 503 error with any PHP below 7
