I used mediawiki 1.2.0 on my Server and because of the php Version I cannot update it. The problem I have is that I can edit and save the page on the local machine. But, if I tried to edit and save pages using external computer, it will show up a connection reset error.

From external computer, I can view all the pages, create user account, even upload a large size of file.

Any suggestions about how can I DEBUG this problem?

How to debug might help you.

For clarification:

• Your MediaWiki version really is 1.2? Not 1.20?
• When you say "local machine", what do you mean? Is that the same machine, on which the server is running? Like: The localhost of your wiki?
• Is the connection reset error in your browser shown when you open the edit view? Or only after you hit the save button? Or both?

Sorry about the unclear statement, the version is 1.20.

By "Local Machine", I mean the server which runs the apache2 and php along with the mediawiki. And I tested editing mediawiki pages using the browser in "Local Machine", it works well.

The "connection reset" error occurs after I hit the save button and waited for several minutes.

I tried to use the PHP Error Log, and nothing shows up there, also for apache2 and Mysql Error log.

For information, my php version is 5.2.0.

This looks like MediaWiki hangs while editing a page, and some sort of max execution time for PHP is killing it before completion.

You can try editing a small page to see if the problem is a very complex page. For example, create a new page with just a dot in the content, and see if the page is saved. If small edits are saved but complex ones aren't, the problem may be a slow server, or some extension causing problems. You may try disabling extensions.

Thanks a lot. I find the reason now.

Seems that the Server Reject some spectial Post which is weird.
