Thanks Boris! I was able to nail it down to a problem with the SIZE of the article along with the MASSIVE number of citations. MNediawiki just faults out before the server can process the amount of data involved, regardless of me adding space to all of the configs. Its the templates for the citations themselves that cause the issue. I got them from wikipedia & when I read through their article general relativity carefully in edit mode I found this:
==References== <!-- NOTE: THIS SECTION IS RESERVED FOR TEXTS CONSULTED IN THE CONSTRUCTION AND REVISION OF THIS ARTICLE. ALL OTHER TEXTS/WEB SITES/RESOURCES SHOULD BE LISTED IN [[general relativity resources]] --> <!-- A number of Citation templates have been expanded since there were limit problems, cf. [[Wikipedia:Template_limits]] --> {{refbegin|2}}
So I snipped the extra citations off & it uploaded OK. Thanks for the tips. I would still like to have those extra citations, so if you or others have any ideas please advise. frosty

Have you tried:
- editing an existing article by overwriting it with your contents (is it
an issue with the contents?) (you can undo he change in your history)
- creating a new article with a different name and contents (is it an
issue with your create-article rights? Can you create articles at all?)
- creating the article with a different name and then moving it to
"general Relativity" (is it an issue with the page name?)

I have a very strange situation. I am building a wiki (mediawiki 1.17)

is devoted to physics. I need to save an article named "General relativity". No matter what I try the article will not save & produce a wiki page. I have even tried saving with only the word 'test' as content..No luck! I have over 150 articles & 800 pluse templates etc. on this site so far & this is the ONLY time this has occurred.

any
ideas? Wikipedia has an article by this exact name so I don't think the name is the issues. More likely 'operator error'. Thanks! frosty _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
