[Richard Wilbur]

Trying to edit wiki page to add my name to list interested in
pre-production board, et cetera. Is that page privileged?

Sincerely,

Richard

nope i have exactly the same error occurring, i'm forcing a rebuild
which i *believe* recreates the cgi script... if it's not fixed it's
something that phil is the person to ask for sorting it out.

The edits still succeed; the page just takes long to update.

If you want to confirm your edits, just try editing the page again and
you should see your changes in the source.

for me the page never gets to the "edit" box because it says "invalid
cgi" within a couple of seconds of pressing the "edit" link.

I think that's something that's being cached in your browser. Try
reloading that page and/or flushing related browser history.

Cheers, Phil.

It is possible that fcgi was upset about something, as restarting that
seems to have made things better, but I'm not 100% certain because I
changed a couple of other things while I was about it.

The other things are:

setting ikiwiki to use git to track which files have changed, so that
it doesn't need to scan the file system (only_committed_changes).

setting it so that if ikiwiki.cgi ends up waiting for locks, it tells
you to wait after 10 seconds, and starts retrying (cgi_overload_*)

hopefully the first will speed things up a little, and the latter do no
harm.

I also note that 'be' (the bug tracker) takes a couple of seconds at the
end of every site rebuild, which strikes me as a bit slow given the
lack of recent activity. Luke, are you actually using 'be' at present?

Cheers, Phil.

mmm.... *stress*... no... but it would be a pain if it was switched
off as i would then have to specifically ask you for it to be
re-enabled. is it ok to leave it?

I think it's fine to leave it, but then I don't often edit the wiki. ;-)

It's only a second or two, so I doubt it's going to kill anyone to wait.
I suspect the git thing will save more than that. If the delay upsets
people it _might_ be worth trying to track down the pages that are
taking longest to build, and tweak them to be quicker. There are some
suggestions on the ikiwiki site about that.

Cheers, Phil.
