This is pretty obscure.. Any help would be great.

Suddenly on a particular website (possibly following an easyapache php minor version update) if I specify a folder rather than a specific file I get a 503 response.

If I do the same on https it's ok. But http always gets a 503.

If I specify a file it's fine, but the folder always hits a 503.

I have removed the htaccess file and php.ini to rule that out and indeed they weren't factors - it seems like it goes wrong before reading the htaccess file.

Has anybody ever seen this before?

It would help to see what is in your error log and maybe the related part of your config file. If too long please use pastebin.com so the forum is not spammed with hughe config stuff Wink

Since you have a hoster, you should contact them about that issue.

503 is an error when a proxy or so can't connect to the backend server. Very unusual for a "plain" apache if you can't configure the config files yourself.
