Thread:Project:Support desk/Mediawiki 1.22+ Causes two of my servers to hang indefinitely./reply (18)

Our experience is best shown visually. From Google Webmaster Tools Crawl Stats. We upgraded to MW 1.22.0 in Dec 2013, corresponding exactly to when the upward spike occurs. We changed $wgPhiCli to an empty string about a week ago, exactly when the return to "normal download times. Our wiki is hosted at Bluehost, who support multiple PHP versions and therefore our PHP is not at the default location.
