Hi all,
My wiki is sometimes not loading at all or when it does load it can be very very slow. It is only the wiki directory that is affected, no other directories so it is not the server speed.
The wiki directory has security on it in the form of simple htaccess.
The MediaWiki version is 1.6.8, with the server on PHP 5.2.2 and MySQL on 5.0.21.
This problem has only just started to happen and the hosts WebFusion are certain it is nothing to do with them although I am not too sure. They argue it is the security but I don't see how that could be as it has always been fine.
There are some extensions installed, is anything not supposed to work behind htaccess?
Any help would be very appreciative.
Kind regards,
Niall
It could be the database server: Do you have other applications set up that use a database? (bulletin boards, etc.)
I don't see why .htaccess would cause any problems, but you could always take it off and see if the problems go away. (An .htaccess login isn't a particularly elegant way of restricting access anyway.)
