First you should try a PHP cache engine such as eAccelerator or APC. It will save the parsed PHP scripts and enhance performance a lot (this is something you should use anyway on any PHP installation with non-trivial traffic). Zend Platform also contains a bytecode cache, however its "dynamic content caching" is not supported in MediaWiki at the current time. Memcached will provide some performance benefit, especially for heavily viewed sites. See similar questions...

No. Wikimedia is the name of a group of wiki-based open-content projects managed by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation. MediaWiki is the software developed to meet the needs of these projects. edit] I tried that but it didn't work I had a problem, I came to this page and it told me how to fix it. But it didn't work, the problem is still there! Nine times out of ten this is because you didn't clear your cache. The simple test for this is to request a page that hasn't been requested before.

There are two timezone-related settings: $wgLocaltimezone and $wgLocalTZoffset. Set both in LocalSettings.php. $wgLocaltimezone is used for formatting the timezone in signatures, and should be set to the locale name, for example "Europe/Berlin". $wgLocalTZoffset sets the default user preference the number of hours your local time differs from server time, and is used for timestamps seen in recent changes and history views.

Set $wgReadOnlyFile in LocalSettings.php to the name of a file, then put the reason for read-only mode inside the file. The contents of the file will be displayed to anyone trying to edit the wiki. Since 1.5 you can set $wgReadOnly to a string describing the reason for read-only mode, instead of creating a file. (Usual wiki markup is allowed in this string). See similar questions...

Under 1.5, to disable all view top tabs, create a new skin according to the instructions in MediaWiki look and feel#Skin and name this MonoBookNoViews. Set this as the default theme. Logged in users will need to change their default theme to see the tabs to edit pages, however. You will need to remove the section of code in the MonoBookNoViews.php file which generates the views (top tabs). See similar questions...

There is a project at mw:Project:PD help that is creating a self-contained help system, with links to an experimental pywikipedia bot that can mirror that. Mediawiki has problems with autostarting sessions. Check your php.ini (you can run phpinfo() to find where it is located) and look for session.auto_start. It should be '0'. Also, session.use_cookies should be '1'. If you don't have access to php.ini and you're using Apache try to create a . See similar questions...

Because of the high quality of our lesson videos, you will need a lot of bandwidth to play them. Every ISP has fluxuation with their bandwidth so sometimes the videos make be slow and choppy. If that happens you can switch to a progressive format. A progressive format will buffer a portion of the lesson on your hard drive, before it starts playing. So when you do play the lesson, you are playing it from your hard drive, so the lessons will run normally. See similar questions...

Over time, a QuickBooks? data file can become unorganized causing the file to operate more slowly. In order to improve operating efficiency, the data file should be "rebuilt." This will reorganize the database and should improve operating performance. The larger your file is, the more frequently this should be done. If you would like more information on when this procedure was last completed, type CTRL-1, while in your data file. See similar questions...

Most older "integrated"graphics chipsets don't work very well with OpenGL. You can first try to upgrade your graphics drivers from your computer or video card manufacturer. If that doesn't work, you can upgrade your graphics card. We have had reasonable success with GeForce 5200 graphics cards that sell for less than $50. Also make sure you are using Preview 3 or later, as there have been significant speed increases since the initial preview. See similar questions...

With the price of RAM these days, it's cheap and easy to speed up every map with one inexpensive upgrade. See similar questions...

It seems the game has become extremely slow to load again, recently. It's gotten to the point where I can visit several other websites every time I click on "attack".
