Re: [xwiki-users] Registration and Layout settings resetting
I've monitored the wiki for the last 3 days, and the problem is recurring about once every 24 hours. Each time I have run a cache flush to no effect. The only solution I have is to re-enter the missing data each time, which doesn't seem like a sustainable option. If anyone could shed light on this or suggest a fix, I would appreciate it. Since I can't seem to get rid of the problem, would it be better to downgrade, or to backup the wiki and then try a from-scratch install of 4.2m3? I'm not seeing similar behavior on my development server, only the production machine... thanks for all the help, aaron On Fri, Sep 14, 2012 at 12:28 PM, Ashtar Communications ashtarcommunicati...@gmail.com wrote: I ran a flush on the cache immediately after the problem recurred, and the settings were not restored.
