Hi John,
From memory there were several - I do not recall others but one which is 100% reproducible is www.wlug.org.nz/rsh(1) and the ?nocache option is not making it work for me. (I may be applying that incorrectly.)
As an extra piece of information - I notice this morning that the URL appears to be trying to draw the page for ssh when I was asking for rsh. Hope this helps. cheers Graham ===================================== Message: 2 Date: Sat, 26 Jan 2008 16:26:14 +1300 From: "John R.

Hi, do you know which page(s) you were on that caused this? It seems that a previous version of phpwiki has made some cached pages that the current version doesn't like, for some reason. If you can figure out the page again, try it again but add a "?nocache" argument to the url and let me know if that fixes it. If it does, then it's definitely a problem with phpwiki's own caching, and I guess we can just remove all the cached pages from the database...

As an extra piece of information - I notice this morning that the URL appears to be trying to draw the page for ssh when I was asking for rsh. That bit at least is by design - on most modern systems, rsh is replaced with a link to ssh anyway, so "man rsh" will return the ssh manpage.
If all the pages you had problems with were manpages (eg, had a (x) at the end, such as rsh(1)), then this isn't such a big issue. We imported a bunch of manpages into the wiki a while back (when it first started actually) but they haven't really been much use. Various people have edited them, but it's information that is IMO hard to keep track of and make use of.

It looks like these errors are for the old man pages that we originally imported - our import script used "[[" as the escape for [ instead of starting a link. It seems that in the current version of the wiki, that isn't valid any more, even if "old markup" is selected. I think we could probably write something to go through the database and fix any page with "[[", although maybe we should also just delete any man page that hasn't been editted by anyone since being imported...
