I have a bit of an issue with our phpwiki, and haven't been able to find a good resolution for this yet. We are using phpwiki in our firm, and every few days, we suddenly see a Fatal PhpWiki Error, driver initialization failed error. To recover the Wiki, we either:
Restart the Apache server
Rename the gdbm files, which magically brings the wiki back into service.
Have others seen this, and if so, is there something that you have seen is causing this error? Does anyone know how to fix this? I have personally put alot of development into this Wiki, including some auto-login scripts, a personalized theme for our firm, and best of all, a true WYSIWYG editor that works (and needed minimal lines of code to work), and don't want to see the Wiki go away, but having to restart the server almost daily, or change the names of the gdbm database files is to much maintenance for what should be an easy solution.
Thank you in advance for anyone who can help with this issue.

Hello there-
We are using:
Linux OS
Kernel Version: 2.4.21-20.ELhugemem
The issue is that we need to use the gdbm, and cannot use mysql, or other databases.
Talk soon
Chris
best would be not to use gdbm, because this php driver has known issues on several platforms, since it relies on os-locking now.
I would recommend berkeley db (db3, db4) or mysql.
admin => backup, restore.
can you post your platform?
