I've been experimenting with my "action=rss&name=M*" problem. The problem is that in one server configuration this kind of query results in a list of every single page on the site instead of the filtered list of pages that start with the letter "M".<div>
<br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>This first example works fine, it is running 2.1.26 on PHP 4.4.7:</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div><a href="http://eric.clst.org/a/test/Site/AllRecentChanges?action=rss&name=M*">http://eric.clst.org/a/test/Site/AllRecentChanges?action=rss&name=M*</a></div>
<div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>An exact copy of this 2.1.26 site running on another server under PHP 5.1.6 fails, producing a list of all pages on the site:</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder">
</div><div><a href="http://tempest.minitex.umn.edu/~eric/test/Site/AllRecentChanges?action=rss&name=M*">http://tempest.minitex.umn.edu/~eric/test/Site/AllRecentChanges?action=rss&name=M*</a><br><br></div><div>I am not a PHP config guru, I just take what the server admins give me. But in this case, something about the config is breaking PmWiki's ability to limit RSS feeds by name and group. If anyone with a better idea of how to configure PHP for PmWiki could take a look at this, I'd be much obliged.</div>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">I've got PmWiki running on two different machines and exhibiting two very different behaviors. I wonder if anyone might be able to shed light on why the difference in the way they treat the "&name=" filter on an RSS feed.</blockquote>
