Hi All,
I'hv a strange problem with my MW 1.11. I have a test version on my local Windows machine and the live one on a linux server (intranet). I don't know when this problem started coming-not sure whether it has been there since beginning or it started after some changes.
When I search with SOME keywords, my production wiki returns a "blank" page. If I use the same words on the test wiki, no probs-results are returned (content in both wikis are same). Some of the problematic words are "transaction" (transaction backout has no problem), function, cards (plastic cards is fine), account etc. I tried to reproduce the problem in the test wiki by copying SearchEngine.php, SearchMySQL.php,SearchMySQL4.php,SpecialSearch.php files from live wiki to my test wiki- but the test wiki still runs fine.
Any idea for the possible cause and solutions?
Regards,

As always, you should upgrade when a new release comes out.
Could you try updating the MediaWiki on both boxes?
That MAY solve your problem. If not we try something else. On Jun 4, 2008, at 11:18 PM, Jack Eapen C wrote:

Sounds like one of those "security" plugins for your web server, perhaps mod_security.
It's set in an overprotective mode that freaks out and denies access when it sees bits of text coming through the form submission that it thinks are indicative of an SQL or code injection attack.
Contact your system administrator and let them know they've misconfigured the software and should back it out to more reasonable settings.
