When I click the "create an account or login" link on the top right of my wiki, I get the following error: --- Network Error (tcp_error) A communication error occurred: "" The Web Server may be down, too busy, or experiencing other problems preventing it from responding to requests. You may wish to try again at a later time. For assistance, contact your network support team. ---- PHP does appear to attempt to log a session; php.ini reports that the session information directory is /tmp, and a session file gets created there. Permissions on tmp are drwxrwxrwt (sticky bit set). I am running my wiki atop PHP 4.3.8, with Apache 2.0.52, on top of HP-UX 11.11 on a D-class Hewlett Packard server.
Look at your apache error log for any error. Please upgrade mediawiki to lastest 1.4 version too. It really looks like a local problem.
(Removed WORKSFORME resolution, as this may be specific to HP-UX.) See also bug 1946 for an HP Apache fix.
re-resolving as WORKSFORME. No further information provided, and the "support request" seems to have lapsed with more than 18 months of inactivity.
