For several months now I have been experiencing a problem with loss of edits while using Moinmoin. It occurs when both the "Save Changes" and "Preview" buttons are used and the outcome is that things go back to the original page before the edit was started. In the case of previewing, nothing is previewed.
This is a time sensitive phenomenon. It never occurs with quick edits, but by my estimate becomes a risk sometime after 5-10 minutes of editing. Basically I now make sure that I've cut to the clipboard any significant edits before saving or previewing to cover against losses. The server environment is: Centos 4.x server running apache 2.0.52-32.3.ent.centos4 Moinmoin 1.5.8 connecting via SSL The workstation environment is: Fedora Core 7 Firefox 2.0.0.6 However, this problem has persisted over several releases of Moinmoin, Fedora Core and Firefox. It also predates the use of SSL. It also occurs with users of Internet Explorer, although I do most of the editing on our wiki instances. I have searched the list archives repeatedly for clues and have found nothing that has helped. The cookie_lifetime is set for 12 hours, but in my preferences, I remember login info. The edit_locking parameter is set to "lock 120". Reverse DNS lockups work fine on my system and the problem occurs regardless of the the log_reverse_dns_lookups setting. Enabling MOIN_DEBUG in moin.cgi has not produced any helpful error messages, although it's possible I'm not looking in the right places. My hunch is that this is not really a Moinmoin problem and may be an Apache or network setting issue, but I don't know where to look or what diagnostic strategy to follow. Would really appreciate some clues to look for or some suggested strategies to follow. Thanks in advance. -- BobJ ______________________________________________________ Bob Jackson Department of Sociology Duke University ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
