I have another website, in production, at the same host but another server... Which is running fine.
I am going to restore a backup of that problematic website on this server. I'd bet it'll work... On top of that, on this server I can choose my version of PHP. My production website is still running PHP 5.6 because I have yet to update it to the latest CBSubs, the old 4.0.1 didn't seem compatible with PHP 7. However I'd also bet that after restoring that backup which has all the latest versions, I'll be able to use either PHP 5.6 or PHP 7 with no problem... Let's see. My guess is there is something wrong with the current server. I see no other possible explanation, I've always been happy with your software I know it's top quality.
