Good!
Yep, there is definitely an issue with 1.21 and later versions of php. Your description
was same one I experienced. Host upgraded to 5.4 and broke my MW install just like you
described. I've seen it on 1.20 too.

I think that's probably what happened Tom. My ISP claimed it was a "bug "in
MediaWiki 1.21 and not their responsibility. I've just managed to install 1.25 and
move most of the content over (luckily export/import still works). It's pretty scary
to suddenly have the site crash for no reason, but it could have been worse.
Thanks to everyone who responded,

Sounds a bit like an issue I had a month ago when moving from one hardware setup to
another. Database issue. Try resavin g the editing content of the main page, just as
though you were making it for the first time. I.E. Cut the content then past it back into
the page and save it. If thast rtestores the main page then try running the
command;"php refreshLinks.php" from the maintenance directory of mediawiki.
This will take a while & I suggest doing it in a root terminal using sudo.
This is what worked for me, but just a suggestion. best of luck.

Hi Everyone,
My MediaWiki site at:
http://wiki.tchaikovsky-research.net/wiki/Main_Page
has suddenly started Io fail in a bizarre way, i.e. sections of some page content are
not displaying. Some pages are fine, others have words or sections missing, and many more
(like the homepage) have no visible content. The content still exists and can be edited,
but just isn't displaying.
No changes have been made to the MediaWiki set up for months, and this has only happened
during the last 2 days. My hosting ISP is being unhelpful, although I suspect they may be
at fault. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Brett Langston
