[Pmwiki-users] Strange problem with pmwiki

[Patrick R. Michaud]

Bizarre!  What version of PHP are you running?  

3-4 minutes for the server to respond sounds like a network problem
somewhere as opposed to PmWiki...however, I know that we once had some
similar problems with some PHP scripts that were being written for
the Harte Research Institute, where sometimes it would take 3-4 minutes
for the server to respond, or sometimes there would be only partial
pages, or a variety of things like that.

Is it consistent?  I.e., are there some machines that *always* take 3-4
minutes when they access the COBWiki, or is it that they just sometimes
take 3-4 minutes to do so?

I'll be very pleased to help troubleshoot this, especially to see if it's
a PmWiki problem or not...
