Version 1.4.0. MediaWiki doesn't want to save when logged in. I constantly says "Prévisualiser Note : Attention, ce texte n'est qu'une prévisualisation et n'a pas encore été sauvegardé!". When not logged in it's working fine. It could be that it's only a problem with the admin account. And actually, just now I'm finding some more very peculiar things. When creating a new user, I'm immediately logged out. It seems I can only log in as root. No cookie problem... Later more. No time right now.
Fix your session storage, most likely you are on a server farm where PHP sessions are erroneously stored on the local /tmp drive instead of a shared location. See: http://www.php.net/session http://www.php.net/ini_set
Ok, ive fixed the issue. however according to the user posts this is something that should have been set before. and perhapse even be listed in the common bug sections. it should be noted that designofgod's is correct but your /tmp directory on SF has to have permissions of 777 or you error designofgod at yahoo dot com 14-Feb-2005 07:12 sometime you need to change session.save_path because server system distributed more then one machine and you can not reach php.ini file example sourceforge.net. Then you can do that with .htaccess file which is kind of configuration file for Apache under one directory. anyway I added php_value session.save_path /home/groups/f/f4/f4l/tmp/ now my sessions work very well I hope :) See: http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.session-save-path.php
umm... sorry this wasnt my bug, but it did help fix my bug. and may help you with yours lols
Having the same problem, once logged in saving an edit always results in previewing the edit. This happend after an upgrade from 1.3.11 to 1.4.3. Also can conform it is not a cookie problem. and it runs on a single server. And for tommorow start logging everything at debug level, a bit overkill but it may give some details. http://blanconcept.net/f/index.php/Het_Schonken-Buyst_familiearchief MediaWiki: 1.4.3 PHP: 4.3.11 MySQL: 4.0.24
A little update, upgrading to 1.4.4 didn't also solved this problem.
The possible solution mention in comment 2 didn't solved it but after being pointed in the right direction, thanks again Brion, I found that there was one line in php.ini that was different compared to the php.ini-dist. Double checked it on a local wiki on another machine which didn't have this problem. This line: session.referer_check = 3600 I change the line to this: session.referer_check = and after a restart of apache, logged in user could save their edits again.
I just encounter this bug on a brand new wiki I just created, but I have no way of accessing the php.ini at my provider (www.entryhost.com). I guess there should be a way to correct this in the MediaWiki code rather than on php.ini. Any idea ?
Please don't reopen a bug because you have a support request on how to configure your machine. Contact your provider and/or see the PHP documentation at http://www.php.net/ini_set
