[Phpwiki-talk] load failed

[aphid <me...@ap...>]

When trying to save or load a page, I'm getting (after about 4 seconds):

"The attempt to load 'Accessing URL: 
http://localhost/testwiki/index.php/Some%20Thing' failed."

in an alert box, but only if the contents the page  are longer than 
about 3 paragraphs.  If I add a fourth, it fails both to save and to 
load as a normal page.  The only way I can actually get at the page is 
by going to 'index.php/Some%20Thing?action=edit' - which will give me 
the same alert box if I try to save - though it seems to be saving the 
changes anyway (thereby making the page unreachable).

I'm thinking this is a db timeout issue, if so how can I beef up the 
time allowed?

cheers

ps - same goes with SomeThing.. it's not the %20
