Wiki broken?

[tj_cool]

Every time I want to submit my edit the wiki, I get this error:

Sorry! We could not process your edit due to a loss of session data. Please try again. If it still doesn't work, try logging out and logging back in.

When I log in, it brings me to the 'successful logged in' page. But when I go to another place, I'm logged out again??

I already tried clearing the cache and Navigation history, but no success

Its for Both Firefox 3.5.2 and IE 7

continued in next post V

Ok, waited almost a day, still no go

Noone (with wiki account) has this problem?


Damn site is slow like hell for me

Oh, I had this problem too, but it said "disconnect and retry", so I thought I will try later, but didn't yet.

I saw an url error too few days ago (some links using wiki/pagename and wiki?title=pagename). but it get corrected the next day. Maybe it was related to that correction.

Its STILL broken

If they can't or don't want to fix it, at least tell us why!

if it helps admins, heres the mediawiki explaination:

Assuming you get this error even when you do have a seemingly valid logon session:

Check if /var/lib/php5 is writable and not readable for user and world ( # chmod 733 /var/lib/php5 )
Check to see if your session.save_path value in php.ini is valid and writable to the webserver - PHP configuration.
Check to see if there is enough disk space.

After making changes restart Apache:

/etc/init.d/httpd restart[/p]

I've been trying to contact an admin for a while.

The registration/edit confirmation thing doesn't work. It'll say you have the wrong answer even though it's correct.

I PMed an admin and he said he would do something about it
so lets wait a bit longer

It's happening to me too. The MediaWiki says the problem is with some configuration after the update.

Also, from another forum, I've found this solution (only the admin can fix it):

Edited php.ini via http://members.powweb.com/member/cgiManagement/PHPplus.bml

From

;session.save_path = "/tmp"

To
CODE;session.save_path = "/home/users/web/b2357/pow.y2kyan04/tmp"

I hope this helps somehow, and also hope I'm not breaking the laws...

I only heard of the issue today, I'll have a look and see what I can do...

 

[tj_cool]

Thx costello
I hope you can fix it

You can always PM me if I need to test something

 

[tj_cool]

Ok
It works again
Thanks costello (or whoever fixed it)

I fixed it, but you need to log out & log in again for it to work.
