When I enable the file cache and request a page from Mediawiki, the browser is waiting for the request forever. On the server the page has been created in the cache. It's compressed and the content looks fine (zcat'ed). There's an Apache process continuously running at almost 100% CPU.
Without the filecache it works fine.
I noticed some discussion from early july about the status of the filecache. Should it work now in beta6?
I have enabled the file cache by adding this to LocalSettings.php:
$wgShowIPinHeader = false; $wgUseFileCache = true; $wgFileCacheDirectory = "/home/rene/projects/carriere/cache";
This directory exists and is writable for Apache.
No other tweaks, it's a clean install (well, the database is upgraded from beta5).
I'm using: MediaWiki: 1.3.0beta6 PHP: 4.1.2 (apache) MySQL: 3.23.49-log on Debian woody
Any ideas?
