I get intermittent "pear_error" messages while trying to load any page of my wiki? Sometimes a reload or a backup and retry fixes the problem but often a dozen retries does not get the page. This is terribly frustrating so I would appreciate any clue about how to address this problem. Is there some place I should look or someplace else that I should ask?
Help. Please.

Hello Dick,
This is the place for MediaWiki support (together with #mediawiki on irc.freenode.net). Can you quote the exact error you are receiving and when does it happen ?
OK, here is the exact message:
[pear_error: message="Template function 'tpl_0_7_0_d73aca9d73b2179aa0acca726fd5ead0' not found (template source : /home/groups/h/hu/humane/htdocs/di/templates/xhtml_slim.pt" code=0 mode=return level=notice prefix="" info=""]
I was using Firefox on Mac OS X and had an old copy of my main page showing a red link to a page I had recently created. When I followed that link, I got to "Editing" of the new page. So I went back and reloaded the main page. That worked and the link was no longer red. Then I followed that link again and got the message above.
The problem is intermittent and often goes away when the page with the error message is reloaded or backed out of and reinvoked. But sometimes that fails so often that I give up and go away for an hour or more. It happens for my pages and for "Special Pages". It seems to happen less in the middle of the night, but that's not certain.

This means the page template didn't compile correctly, or that the compiled template file couldn't be loaded up correctly.
Unfortunately I can't be more specific than that since I don't know what causes it, and have never seen it on any machine I've run (though similar symptoms do get reported). Do you run this server yourself, or are you on a shared server with limited control? What operating system does it run? What version of PHP? Do you know if it's using a PHP accelerator module (eg Zend Optimizer, Turck MMCache, APC, etc)? Are you running with PHP's safe mode on? Is the server frequently used, or lightly? Is your wiki heavily used, or lightly? Can you check for the existence of a file named eg tpl_0_7_0_d73aca9d73b2179aa0acca726fd5ead0.php, most likely in /tmp? What does it look like inside? Is it empty, or broken, or a bunch of PHP and HTML bits? Are files in the /tmp dir routinely emptied? Is there a per-user quota on the filesystem? Are there any other error messages that show up at the time?

This is hosted on the SourceForge servers so they are heavily shared and I have quite limited control. The wiki is very lightly used. No other messages or errors occur with this one. I'll see if I can find out the other stuff you ask about.
Thanks.

That is odd, since there are other wikis ran on SourceForge, and I don't think they've reported problems. (but I don't know how many use MediaWiki).
Any body ran MediaWiki on SourceForge, or know of a project that does?
