[Mediawiki-l] same wiki on two servers, image links

Fri Aug 25 14:30:50 UTC 2006

Hi,

When I copy databases around I tend to delete the whole of the
objectcache table. This stops pages being loaded from the cache, and
doesn't seem to have any adverse effects, as they get rebuilt on next
access. Dunno if thats whats causing you problem. BTW if anyone knows
why this is a bad thing (other than from a server load POV) please
shout.

Kind regards,

Alex Powell
