Error 500 on link embeds.
OK, folks, I've looked and can't find a solution.
Everything was working fine until a couple days ago we had a massive crash brought on by a lightning strike. I eventually had to hire some professional help to get our site restored and everything is back to normal except one thing: embedding website links.
Any time we try to embed a website link it displays "failed with error code 500".
Here's the funny part: Twitter links still embed just fine. Copy and pasting images still works just fine. It's only when you try to paste a web link to a news story or article or something like that that it fails.
Vanilla version 3.3
Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS
Virtualmin Control Panel
Thanks in advance for any guidance.

sry, I only have a non-specific suggestion
I ran through those without success.
So after everything that had happened I went an extreme route, created an entirely new virtual server, uploaded vanilla to it, went to run the installer and guess what?
curl wasn't installed. When he rebuilt the site he didn't reinstall the curl extension and that's why everything else worked except the web link embedding.
So anybody else, make sure you have curl installed for the version of php you're using.
Thanks for the help!
