Dear all.

When I try to purge my cache with ?action=purge, I get 404 file or directory not found. Have anybody experienced that? It's probably related to PhP, but I am not able to figure it out. Everything else works fine, but It's hard to update my templates.

Regards

Hi!

Does it work for other ?action=xxx URLs? E.g. for action=history? If not, this might be a problem with Short URLs.

For the template updates: After you updated a template, the pages, which transclude it should iIrc be purged automatically - there should be no need to do that manually...

Thanks miss/mr 88.130.113.102.

After reading about short URLs, I guess that's most likely the case. ?action=xxx doesn't work either. I have some investigation and testing to do here. Again, thanks!

I understand what your'e saying, but don't understand why pages should be purged automatically. I was working with my templates (in template namespace) in lab environment, and changes didn't kick in as expected. I came across the ?action=purge option and they then worked. In my production environment though, purging doesn't work.

I have recently set up Short URLs for one of my wikis and I know that (if you use Apache) the result of following this guide is working.
