[Phpwiki-talk] Page caching problem, supposedly

[Tom E. <ro...@te...>]

Hi again,

I have always had the problem, that maybe 4 out of 5 requests
return ok, while one takes >20 seconds to complete, then
comes back without styles (i.e. plain HTML look).
(no other errors on the page, or in the apache log)

Since I re-did my whole install from SuSE 10.0 to 10.2
recently (new php, new apache, ...) - and I had this on the
old machine and have it on the new machine - this must be a
phpwiki or phpwiki config issue.
This is 1.3.12p3, but I've also had this on 1.3.11rc3 (maybe
also before that, can't remember). db=file.

While fixing the CalendarList, I made the observation
that in such cases, the page does not get execute (i.e. changes
to CalendarList.php not visible). Since I was reloading,
reloading, reloading the start page, it got worse and worse
until I got 5 subsequent failures on reload.

Now, when I added "?debug=1", it worked. Reload failed.
Changing "1" to "2" worked, but reload failed again, and so on.
Basically, by always increasing the debug level, I got no errors.
So this must have to do with page caching, right ?

Adding "nocache=1" or "nocache=purge" only seemed to
help once (each) !?

Setting "WIKIDB_NOCACHE_MARKUP = true" had no effect at all.
Is this setting still supported ?

I'd be happy to test out your debugging ideas, if you have
some.

Any ideas anyone ?

Cheers & Thanks,
Tom.
