[Pmwiki-users] Page contents mysteriously disappear

[Patrick R. Michaud]

This is really a bizarre problem--I'm not sure what the cause might
be.  My first suspicion is that it might be that the browser is caching
older versions of the pages and displaying them--did you try reloading
the page (e.g., shift+reload in IE) whenever you got a "blank" page?  

The fact that the file exists in wiki.d with the correct content leads
me to believe that something else is going on.  I think the fact that
it was a line containing <?php phpinfo(); ?> is a coincidence.  PmWiki
doesn't interpret php code that might appear in the files in wiki.d--
they're just data files.

Try reloading the page in the browser, or clearing the browser cache
and loading the page and see if that resolves the problem.
