For some reason, the main page of our wiki just won't load unless you're logged into the wiki. All other pages work fine.

Unless you're logged into your account, the following page says it's experiencing technical difficulties.

http://furrybasketball.net/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page

A mirror of the page is here and works fine:

http://furrybasketball.net/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page_2

All other links to wiki pages work, just the main page isn't working. I haven't changed any of the wiki's settings or updated anything that might affect this. Any insight to this bug would be stellar.

Thanks for your help!

It looks like it's a problem with the database, are you sure everything is configured fine on that side?

It should be, it was working fine until about a month or so ago. Everything looks ok from what I can tell.

I can access history and the last revision of the page without problems

Looks like the error page is cached somewhere. Do you have a caching proxy in front of your MediaWiki? Or maybe you have the file cache enabled? Maybe you had a problem the first time the page was visited, the error was cached and it's serving the cached page instead...

if you have the file cache enabled, try to find the main page in the cache folder and just delete it. If that's the problem, you probably want to bugreport this problem, because error pages shouldn't be cached at all!

Thanks. I'll start digging through the cache to see if I can find the issue...

I think that might have done it. Thank you so much!
