Omeka has encountered an error pho:1093

Hi -

When users save a transcribed item, they frequently but intermittently get this error “Omeka has encountered an error”. The error log shows the listing below repeatedly - web searches show others have had the same problem, but I don’t see an explanation or solution. What is wrong and how do I fix it?

Thank you

I suspect that MediaWiki is timing out and sending an empty response to Scripto. Does your MediaWiki installation run slowly? You could increase PHP’s max_execution_time setting and see if that works. You could also upgrade MediaWiki to a newer version, which may be better optimized.

At any rate, I recommend that you upgrade to Scripto 2.3. I don’t think it will solve the problem but it will make Scripto compatible with newer versions of MediaWiki.

Hello -

Thank you very much for your suggestions! I will work on implementing them, although I did try to upgrade mediawiki and had to rollback to the old version because it broke some of the Scripto customizations.

Thank you again!
