My mediawiki server times out on edit?

Hey all! I'll preface this with saying that I'm by no means an advanced user of mediawiki, let alone Linux. I'm more of just a casual user than anything.

So I have a MW server installed on a raspberry pi and the last few days it's been having an issue with making edits to pages. The pages load fine for viewing, but the editing is what has an issue. I tried looking around and trying to install a php profiler to see what was causing the issue, but for some reason pecl isn't a command on my machine. I've also tried disabling all my extensions and trying to make an edit, but it still times out on me, so I don't think it's the extensions. I kinda feel like it's having an issue with writing to the database, but again, I'm more of an armchair admin than someone who knows what they're doing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Fixed!

Ended up being an issue with a dynamic IP, of all the stupid simple things that could've gone wrong. Set each instance of the old IP in LocalSettings to the new one, everything is working fine now.

Remember kids, check your IP.
