Sorry to offer such a generic response, especially if you've already considered the stock possibility for problems described with the words "suddenly stopped working... ."

But, nonetheless, the standard path to a solution is:

  1. Find out what changed on the server.
    • ...is the script still present and unmodified?
    • ... was something upgraded/changed in any way that might impact?
    • If you took the precaution of maintaining a complete manifest of server files, read the entire host again... and compare (for new or missing files)
  2. Ditto re your local host
  3. Check your logs? (...see anything out of the ordinary?)
