[Phpwiki-talk] persistent wiki virginity

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

Ok... I've been getting a strange issue in the recent (1 mo or so) cvs 
dev wiki

On the first and any thereafter loading of the wiki, I get the  
"Loading up virgin wiki" screen, only it stops at OldStyleTablePlugin.. 
it goes alphabetically from A through most of O and just stops there.

I'm assuming that it's attempting this every time because it's not 
finding some of the important pages (RecentChanges and whatnot).

Has anyone seen this before or do any of you have any ideas for how to 
resolve this?

Peace,
A

Does it always stop in exactly the same spot?

The only time I've seen similar behavior is when safe_mode is on,
so that the PHP execution timeout can't be reset.  Then the load
times-out.   In that case though, repeated attempts at de-virginizing
usually succeed eventually, since on subsequent attempts, pages
which have already been loaded get skipped...

Any messages in the (apache) error_log?

HomePage is the "magic" page.  And PhpWiki now takes extra care to
make sure that it is loaded last.

If it's not a safe_mode/timeout issue, then my next guess is that
either OldStyleTablePlugin or the page after that is triggering
a PHP segfault/crap-out of some kind.  If that's the case, the only
way I know of to start figuring out where exactly the problem is,
is to start adding print/echo (and flush) statements in the program
flow to figure out just exactly where things are crapping out.

No errors in the log.

It had stopped in the same spot, exactly.
The file it was dying on was OldTextFormattingRules.

I blanked out that file in /pgsrc (I'm only allowing new markup 
anyway); it was then able to load everything in as normal.

I don't know if my using mac os x (10.2.4) has anything to do with this 
issue; I have been able to repeat the issue several times on this 
platform.

Anyway, thanks for the help.

Cheers
