Check the before/after php.ini settings. My first guess is they finally turned register_globals OFF and the Plesk code is relying on register_globals. Upgrade, fix, or abandon Plesk if that's the case. My second guess is they changed the session.auto_start or completely messed up the session GC or time limit settings in php.ini Actually, if it broke yesterday... The DST date/time change may also mean that the OS idea of "now" and the PHP idea of "now" may be out of whack, or, more likely, their server clock is so screwed up that sessions are expired as soon as they are issued. Can we just abandon this stupid DST thing already? Who actually *LIKES* it? If you've got a problem with the amount of daylight you are getting, just get up earlier or later or whatever, and leave the damn clocks alone!
