All,
After some more looking into it it doesn't seem to just be large pages anymore. It would seem that random pages won't actually save after clicking save just displays a white page. At first I made the assumption that the pages were very large as we've had the problem before. That just isn't the case even on short pages often when you click save it takes a very long time and then gives you a nice white screen.
This is very frustrating..... any advice would be a big help !
Thank You, Jon Welters
Hi Jon,
Are you getting any errors in your log files? Do the white pages on save happen on newly created pages too, or only the ones imported from your old wiki? What was your old wiki? Can you give us the link to your wiki or is it internal? If you can't let us look at your wiki, can you give us the versions from your Special:Versions page?
Thanks! -Courtney
Courtney,
Thanks for your response. I ended up enabling php errors and it uncovred that in my php.ini file the post time was set to 20 seconds. The server the wiki is running on isn't all that great so at times when multiple people are uploading it took longer then that. I just set the number higher and set the PHP Memory Max to be higher. Seemed to temparily solve the problem. Long term it's looking like we need to updgrade the old server.
Also, this has been a large project, and it's comming to an end for us. Thank you to everyone who helped out on the mailing list ! We've come a long way from a textile based ruby wiki. You've been a big help and you are appreciated !
