Thread:Project:Support desk/Database Error on Redirect

Hello all,

I installed a Mediawiki on my website today to use for my and my friends for our Dungeons and Dragons campaign. However, when I try to redirect one page to another (using #REDIRECT page name), I get a Database Error, and I have not been able to find someone with similar problems (sorry if I overlooked something).

The error is as follows: REPLACE INTO `mw_redirect` (rd_from,rd_namespace,rd_title,rd_fragment,rd_interwiki) VALUES ('194','0','Kalender_van_het_Ene_Licht',,)
 * Query:
 * Function: WikiPage::insertRedirectEntry
 * Error: 1205 Lock wait timeout exceeded; try restarting transaction (localhost)

And the backtrace is this: #0 /home/lunaface/public_html/faendol/includes/db/Database.php(1182): DatabaseBase->reportQueryError('Lock wait timeo...', 1205, 'REPLACE INTO `m...', 'WikiPage::inser...', false) #1 /home/lunaface/public_html/faendol/includes/db/Database.php(2808): DatabaseBase->query('REPLACE INTO `m...', 'WikiPage::inser...') #2 /home/lunaface/public_html/faendol/includes/db/DatabaseMysqlBase.php(427): DatabaseBase->nativeReplace('redirect', Array, 'WikiPage::inser...') #3 /home/lunaface/public_html/faendol/includes/page/WikiPage.php(965): DatabaseMysqlBase->replace('redirect', Array, Array, 'WikiPage::inser...') #4 /home/lunaface/public_html/faendol/includes/page/WikiPage.php(1375): WikiPage->insertRedirectEntry(Object(Title)) #5 /home/lunaface/public_html/faendol/includes/page/WikiPage.php(1338): WikiPage->updateRedirectOn(Object(DatabaseMysqli), Object(Title), false) #6 /home/lunaface/public_html/faendol/includes/page/WikiPage.php(1884): WikiPage->updateRevisionOn(Object(DatabaseMysqli), Object(Revision), 410, false) #7 [internal function]: WikiPage->doEditContent(Object(WikitextContent), '', 98, false, NULL, 'text/x-wiki') #8 /home/lunaface/public_html/faendol/includes/page/Article.php(2006): call_user_func_array(Array, Array) #9 /home/lunaface/public_html/faendol/includes/EditPage.php(1920): Article->__call('doEditContent', Array) #10 /home/lunaface/public_html/faendol/includes/EditPage.php(1920): Article->doEditContent(Object(WikitextContent), '', 98, false, NULL, 'text/x-wiki') #11 /home/lunaface/public_html/faendol/includes/EditPage.php(1292): EditPage->internalAttemptSave(Array, false) #12 /home/lunaface/public_html/faendol/includes/EditPage.php(528): EditPage->attemptSave #13 /home/lunaface/public_html/faendol/includes/actions/EditAction.php(56): EditPage->edit #14 /home/lunaface/public_html/faendol/includes/actions/SubmitAction.php(40): EditAction->show #15 /home/lunaface/public_html/faendol/includes/MediaWiki.php(414): SubmitAction->show #16 /home/lunaface/public_html/faendol/includes/MediaWiki.php(282): MediaWiki->performAction(Object(Article), Object(Title)) #17 /home/lunaface/public_html/faendol/includes/MediaWiki.php(584): MediaWiki->performRequest #18 /home/lunaface/public_html/faendol/includes/MediaWiki.php(435): MediaWiki->main #19 /home/lunaface/public_html/faendol/index.php(46): MediaWiki->run #20 {main}

Does anybody have any clue what might be causing this? I'm running the most recent version of MediaWiki.

Thanks in advance, Mt_74
