I added a debug line suggested by another user to show some page variables. That might help someone who knows the guts. I can add another line if that would help. (I don't write PHP, but can recognize a bit from other languages.)

New group sidebar page is now:
http://www.cricket.onebit.ca/Fanfic/SideBar

(the problem applies to both sandy.onebit.ca and cricket.onebit.ca -- it's a farm.)

+++++

The custom edit form was disabled three seconds ago and the problem is still there.

++++++

I was able to create the new group sidebar and save it, so editing works. The Preview doesn't.

+++++

Another installation with the same hosting company, but probably a different server, isn't affected. It previews changes fine.

I can understand some of CPanel. Is there anything I should look at?

+++++

And now for the dreaded recipe check stage. I don't remember adding any recipes since the last successful edit, however:

From SiteAnalyzer:
Recipe  local   pmwiki.org
Cookbook:Captcha        2008-07-13      2008-07-13
Cookbook:CommentBoxPlus 2006-12-15 sandy        2011-12-03
Cookbook:ConditionalExtensions  20061028        20061028
Cookbook:DeObMail       20090824        20120717
Cookbook:IncludeUpload  20080105        20080105
Cookbook:PmForm 2007-06-12      20120901
Cookbook:WikiStylesPlus 2007-05-23      2007-05-23
Cookbook:emailform?     2006-12-15      
PmWiki:SiteAnalyzer     2007-02-16      2007-02-16
PmWiki:Upgrades pmwiki-2.2.42   pmwiki-2.2.44

That list doesn't have several that are in my cookbook folder.

Now to search the php files. I'll search for the word "post" in each file and report anything suspicious.

cricket/cookbook : empty folder
cricket/local/config.php : only "post" is with MailPosts .
pmwiki/local/config.php: very short file
pmwiki/local/farmconfig.php: nothing suspicious -- all to do with mailing or posts
pmwiki/pub/guiedit: a .js file
pmwiki/local/cookbook: -- full folder!

autorestore.php -- "restore" isn't in farmconfig.php.

tabtable.php -- 2007/08/15 -- commented out the activation in farmconfig.php and it's not the problem.

marklets.php -- "marklet" isn't in farmconfig.php

pmform.php -- has "$_POST" in several places. Is the 2007-06-12 version. Is it worth upgrading? I'd probably delete it. Only spammers use the form and my email is on the site.

commentboxplus.php -- based on 2006 version, with note "changed layout and prompts to match the rest of my site. Sandy" I wouldn't have stuck to html and CSS and not touched the php. Like the above, only spammers are using the comment box.

+++++

Any ideas?

Thanks again,

Sandy

This is not an easy one. As you have enabled diagnostics, I looked and I
don't see anything obvious that should go wrong.

The message you see only appears if the requested page name, after
normalization, doesn't match the regular expression for $GroupPattern
and $NamePattern. But yours appear the default ones, you haven't changed
them so it should work. It doesn't.

Can you edit and save another Group.SideBar page?

Do you have a custom edit form? Some skins come with an edit form
different from the default one.

If editing works but previewing and saving doesn't, then PmWiki has
trouble with the $_POST variables. Do you have in your config.php some
lines or including a recipe containing or manipulating the $_POST array?

A similar problem might also come from some incorrect setting of the
Rewrite rules of Apache.

Clarifying:

Editing works fine.

Saving or previewing doesn't work.

When I try to edit Site.SideBar, it tells me:



PmWiki can't process your request
?invalid page name
We are sorry for any inconvenience.
Return to http://www.sandy.onebit.ca


I'm running pmwiki-2.2.42 .

I haven't touched the SideBar in years. I edited several other pages
tonight with no problem.
