I'm getting reports on
rationalwiki.org of
occasional blank
watchlists. The symptoms are that a completely empty page loads
immediately. It's running 1.19.1 in Ubuntu 10.04 with Apache
2.2.14-ubuntu.
Of course, I changed *two* things last night: (a) cut max memory for
PHP from 256MB to 64MB (b) switched off KeepAlive in Apache. (I'm
quite keen to keep both of these, as the server CPU and memory went
*right* down.)
SOLVED - by upping max memory from 64MB to 96MB. Dunno what was
breaking, but the users with the problem are reporting they can get a
watchlist now.
Indeed. You're probably fixing some other bugs as well by upping that
limit. Really, PHP should have about 100M of memory available to it to
run MediaWiki. We're a memory hog, but hey, them's the breaks.
(Tangentially, I see a pile of PHP errors concerning
LiquidThreads
running out of memory, and we still use the awful thing. Even though
I'd happily set it on fire. Is it known to be pretty fat with memory?)
I don't know of any specific complaints about LQT w.r.t memory, but
generally speaking, more extensions -> more memory needed.
