[pmwiki-users] Changes not being saved - more information

[Kevin Hayes]

I got no response last time, so I'll post again, with a bit of new
information. This is a possible show-stopper with this wiki, as I have
a number of very novice users and they can't work with it
consistently.



I'm having a tricky and annoying problem with one of my wikis.

On some pages, changes are not being saved. No error message, just no
save, nothing in history. Other pages are fine. I can also create new
pages with no problems, but then can't guarantee further edits are
saved. It may relate to the amount of text being pasted
in, but this isn't consistent either.


New - it definitely relates to the amount of text in the page being
saved. Too much (I haven't quantified it yet) and the changes aren't
saved, history shows nothing happening.

I also copied the contents of wiki.d to my PC, created a new wiki.d on
the server and copied them back, changed permissions to 777; no
effect.

PHP version: 4.4.6
Server: Apache/1.3.37 (Unix) mod_gzip/1.3.26.1a
mod_auth_passthrough/1.8 mod_log_bytes/1.2 mod_bwlimited/1.4 PHP/4.4.6
FrontPage/5.0.2.2635.SR1.2 mod_ssl/2.8.28 OpenSSL/0.9.7a

I see a closed, unreproducible PITS entry about large pages not saved
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PITS/00727 but can't see any possible
troubleshooting avenues in it yet.



PmWiki 2.1.27, Unix server. wiki.d has permissions at 777; for some
reason each file in wiki.d has permissions at 666.

There's one password for attr, edit, admin and upload, no other
security.

I've changed permissions a number of times to no effect. I've deleted
.flock and .pageindex, to no effect.

Any ideas?
