Downtime

Maybe you're hitting this php bug. On my own tests, with this versions:

Code:

PHP/5.2.6-1+lenny3
fcgid 2.2.1
firefox 3.5.2 OSX

What happens is that (on graceful restart) the server closes the connection by sending a FIN packet, and thereafter I've got varying results:

1. If the page was previously loaded correctly (so this is a refresh), the browser reloads the page, this time completing correctly.
2. If it's the first time I'm loading the page, the browser shows a blank page and stops.

So yes, this might be an issue. Unfortunately, it's a php+fastcgi/fcgid problem that we can't do much about, except trying with newer versions to see how is this handled. You may also switch to using mod_php5 (the panel supports it), but then you'll have a less secure server.

It's up to you... :S
