I can't seem to reach the DM encyclopedia. Is there a problem?

Seems to be working okay for me.
Maybe a temporary thing.

It's working now, but it wasn't even responding to ping earlier.

Probably a transient issue, it works fine for me now.

Weird, yesterday it was the forum that didn't load for me. At least in the morning - I tried again a few hours later and it was back up again. Temporary DM-focused Internet glitch? :D

Encyclopaedia
I also got the same error message today. The home page of the site is a PHP script that handles redirections to the appropriate page in case you clicked on an old link (the ones with "/?q=" in the URL). I keep this in place to avoid breaking all links to the site created in the past 20 years.
The error message appears when PHP is broken at my ISP, which seems to occur randomly (and I can't do anything myself to fix it).
As a workaround, you can always use http://dmweb.free.fr/index2.html which is the static home page (no PHP), this one should always be working fine.

I also had issues accessing the forum a few times over the past weeks, but each time it was also transient and was fixed after a moment without me doing anything, so I did not bother to look more into it. Maybe I should look for a better hosting plan, but this will cost more money.
And the "Donate" button that I added at the top of the forum did not have much success I must say.

I'm out of the loop regarding PHP hosting in 2025. What sort of traffic do we get? I'd be happy to pay for hosting for a couple of years if it's not too expensive.
