[Mediawiki-l] Wiki became unavailable--problem recurred

[Bill Egnatoff]

A few days ago I posted a problem that my wiki had become 
unexpectedly unavailable (no Mainpage displayed). This seemed to be a 
PHP memory allocation problem, as two people suggested. When I set a 
generous limit in Localsettings.php

ini_set( 'memory_limit', '120M' );

the wiki reappeared. A day later, the same problem recurred and 
increasing the limit further didn't help. The main page sometimes 
displays as blank (on the first call) and sometimes returns the error 
message (on subsequent calls):

PHP Fatal error:  Cannot access protected property 
DatabaseMysql::$mOut in 
/home/egnatoff/public_html/wiki/includes/Database.php on line 429

Versions
MediaWiki 1.9.2
My service provider uses
Linux, kernel 2.6.9-023stab040.1-enterprise
Apache 1.3.37 (Unix)
PHP 5.2.1
MySQL 5.0.24-standard
(access to files through cPanels)

Does anyone have any further clues? Thank you.

Sincerely
Bill Egnatoff
