I installed mediawiki 1.5.6 and 1.4.14. In the both wikis I had the same problem: When a logged member edit and save a page, He gets the following error message, "Note: Remember that this is only a preview, and has not yet been saved!". But a anonymous users can edit and save the pages normally.
PHP's session storage is broken. Probably one of the following is true:
- You are running on a Windows server, and php.ini has the default setting of
"/tmp" for the session storage path, a directory which does not usually exist on Windows.
- You are running on SourceForge.net's server farm or a similar setup where
php.ini has the default setting of "/tmp" fo rthe session storage path, a local directory which is different for each server that a user hits.
Interestingly, I just had a similar problem. My long-running wiki suddenly stopped letting me save changes as a logged in user.
This was on a debian (actually Ubuntu) system. After a little bit of poking around, I determined that the php session save path was /var/lib/php4 and that this directory didn't seem to exist. I looked at my backups and found out that it disappeard during the week when I had upgraded the server from Ubuntu 5.04 to 5.10.
I recreated the directory and everything started working again.
