This may not be a render server problem, but perhaps someone else has experienced it and can figure out what I'm doing incorrectly.
I have two MediaWikis running on the same server. Until recently, they were both running Mediawiki 1.16.0, along with the Collection extension version 1.4. They both had exactly the same render server settings in LocalSettings.php, including the same $wgCollectionMWServeURL. These wiki's are internal to our firewall, so we have our own version of the render server running. Everything worked properly. We made the decision to update both MediaWiki's to MW version 1.19.1. I upgraded the first one, and in the process, also upgraded the Collection extension to 1.5. Now, whenever I attempt to generate a PDF, I get the following message on the 1.19.1 MW. I've replaced the real server name with "servername" *"The POST request to http://mwrender.servername:8899/** failed ($2)."* Because of this problem, I have not updated the other MW on the same server, and it still works properly. I can't tell if this is a problem with the collections extension, or with the new version of MW, or both. I tried updating the MW 1.16 collection extension to 1.5, but I get a message that there are unsupported operand types in Collection.php. I tried downgrading the MW 1.19 collection extension back to Collection version 1.4, but then, when I try to generate a PDF, I get an error that says " Hook CollectionHooks::buildNavUrls failed to return a value. I can't find anything that I need to be doing differently in the LocalSettings.php file with MW 1.19 and collection 1.5. I'd appreciate any advice that someone could give if they've experienced a similar problem, or if someone can provide some suggestions that I can use to gather more information about the root of the problem. It it's relevant, the server is running RedHat Enterprise Release 4 and the kernel is 2.6.9-89.0.16.ELxenU GNU/Linux.
