Description:
Whenever I try to save some edit on the wiki in forge.mysql.com,
I get:

Sorry! We could not process your edit due to a loss of session data. Please try again. If it still doesn't work, try logging out and logging back in.

This happens randomly and logging in and out often doesn't seem to affect it.

How to repeat:
Edit some page, commit.

please retest, as in theory, it should be fixed now.

I've tried it a few times and it does seem to work now.

hi!
"it should be fixed now."
i set up a wiki by myself and i i'm struggling with the same error you discussed here:
"Sorry! We could not process your edit due to a loss of session data. Please try again. If it still doesn't work, try logging out and logging back in."

Can you tell what you have done to fix this problem?
thanks,
martin

we just make sure we're using file-based storage, as opposed to database based. mediawiki is written in such a way.

its best to solve mediawiki problems at the mediawiki forums, as opposed to the mysql bugs databasae.

kind regards
