Hello,
First: thanks Tim for the answer, I really appreciate it !!! You make the day of someone in the world :-)
Here are some modifications I have done to my LocalSettings.php:
Tim suggests:
$wgCacheDirectory = "$IP/cache/mediawiki001"; (was already set) $wgMsgCacheExpiry = 365*86400; (was at 86400 from DefaultSettings.php)
Right after this modification, I didn't had any other 408 errors for the rest of the day...
BUT, I went to Special:ListFiles and clicked on a picture and it took a very long time before the image was displayed (let's say near a minute)... doesn't make sens... It was long just if I clicked on a pict listed in Special:ListFiles... I have continue my search on the net and found this: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Thread:Project:Support_desk/Upload_slow So I tried to disable InstantCommons (I don't need it anyway) and BINGO ! after a day, all is fast:
# InstantCommons allows wiki to use images from http://commons.wikimedia.org $wgUseInstantCommons = false; $wgAllowExternalImages = false; #$wgAllowExternalImageFrom = array();
I cannot understand why suddently it runned slowly, but it seems that these changes solved the issue...
Again: thanks !!!
Cheers !

Since 2 weeks, I experience some problems : the site runs very fast, and suddenly runs slow for a couple of seconds (let say 15/20 seconds to load a single page), then back to normal.
It sounds like a recache of the LocalisationCache, or MessageCache or both. Try setting $wgMsgCacheExpiry = 365*86400, and set $wgCacheDirectory to the path of a fast local (i.e. not NFS) writable directory.
