Our hosting provider has disabled this function. We them asked to enable it but they refused. Creating new pages is fine but when i try to edit pages i get:
internal_api_error_Exception: Exception caught: PHP cURL function curl_multi_init missing.
Is there any workaround for this problem?
Since REL1_32 (for T139169), there's been a fallback to a non-parallel system that doesn't use curl if it's unavailable, but that was written assuming curl was intact. :-)
I've written this patch to also sniff for curl_multi_init and fallback; if that's merged, it'll ship with MediaWiki 1.35 unless we back-port it. Sorry that that's not an immediate fix.
