Wikipedia:New server madness

There MAY (may mind you) be some issues with saving page edits.. I've noticed some "weirdness" that could conceivably be related to the server move. Check the bottom of User talk:Maveric149 for the details. The problem may have arisen based on my accessing both the larousse and www servers tonight (new and old). --Dante Alighieri 10:22 14 May 2003 (UTC)

I have noticed the same thing, Dante. But it isn't new. It seems to date back several weeks and has to do with an updated php version, I gather. You have to hit <reload> or <shift-reload> quite often. I understand that an interim fix is in in the pipeline. It seems worse on the new server, but I think that's just my imagination. Maybe.

I don't know... I'm not entirely convinced it's just a caching issue, I've reloaded QUITE a bit trying to fix this... then again, I am tired... --Dante Alighieri 10:33 14 May 2003 (UTC)

Test:1 - 2 (and there is some real weirdness - I just got presented with, in the page view, not the edit view, a page that was three revisions old - i.e., finishing with Dante Alighieri 10:33 14 May 2003 (UTC), despite having made twice edted the page since then and seen the results come up OK via a refresh. But, coming here into the edit window, all is OK - at least for the moment. Tannin 10:59 14 May 2003 (UTC)

This could conceivably happen if a connection gets stuck in mid-transaction; re-use of the same database connection by another script process would result in the earlier copies of the entries being shown (just for that connection). That oughtn't to happen, though... --Brion 11:00 14 May 2003 (UTC)

I duplicated it just now - the out of date edit window (OODEW) thing. Finished my edit, got an edit conflict with you, Brion, threw the edit away (as it was trivial in any case), got the full, up to date text in the page view, came here to respond, and got text up to "Test:1" above - no "2" or anything following from my previous edits or yours. Reload made no difference. Shift-reload fixed it. I have not noticed any caching problems on other sites, and I've been running this particular setup unchanged for quite a while.

Grrr... 30-something experimental edits later, and I can't make it work in any way other than perfectly. Those mentioned above, though, I am 100% certain of. I'll keep an eye open. Tannin 11:23 14 May 2003 (UTC)
