This error was caused by a caching mod that we added to this server. I’ve set up a custom php.ini file for your account flutes that disables this module, and that site is now resolving properly. If you are seeing this error on any of your other sites, please let us know which ones and we can perform the same change for them, as well.

Ok… so not very fair to me that they just perform this upgrade and take out almost 100 of my sites. You would think they would have tested this and notified people ahead of time that would be affected. All in all the response time was pretty good on figuring out what was wrong, but it should have never happened in my eyes.

I contacted them again stating that I need to be able to resolve this on my own and that I cannot contact support everytime I create a new site. Here is their response…

Yes, to setup the custom php.ini, do the following:

1) copy the php.ini into each account’s home directory
2) create a .htaccess in each account’s home directory with the following in it:

Click the .htaccess in the main post

3) change the $user variable to the account username

That will enable the php.ini for each account. Let us know if you have any questions or concerns about this.

So I just got finished doing this on all my sites. Yippee what fun! I had to do it as I was down almost 2 days and lost about $100.00 total at my current EPC.

To make this post usefull to others that have hostgator and might run into this problem I included a link to the php.ini file they provided me in the main post.
