Weird. It comes up blank. If I go into the revision history http://imslp.org/index.php?title=Sympho ... on=history one moment I can't open any version of the page since Nov. 20th of last year and the next moment I can open the most recent revision but if I try to open the current page it goes blank.

I'm not sure at this moment why the pages turn up blank, but I'm guessing that this might have something to do with the server being overloaded. I will do a bit more investigation about this.

I'm experiencing a similar problem with the work page http://imslp.org/wiki/6_Flute_Sonatas,_ ... iedrich%29 It comes out blank (with Mozilla browsers) when I'm logged in to IMSLP. My chromium browser is more helpful: it reports a http 500 error when I attempt to access the URL when I'm logged in to IMSLP.

@Feldmahler. Any more news on this? There are times when attempting to open even quite short pages will produce a "server error", and it's becoming increasingly troublesomre :(

I plan to fix this problem by the end of this week at the latest, though that is assuming that this is not some extremely weird problem. The main trouble is that there is no error record, which is strange because there should be in cases of 500 server error. This means that the debugging is going to take longer than would otherwise be the case. I apologize for the inconvenience in the meanwhile!

A colleague WIMA contributor and WIMA->IMSLP project participant reports a problem when attempting to transfer a WIMA score to the IMSLP work page, http://imslp.org/wiki/Secular_Works_%28 ... einrich%29. After clicking the final 'I accept' button in the upload pages he gets an error message saying something like 'probably a programming error' (he writes to me in Dutch, so I don't know exactly which text he sees).

I can reproduce the error in so far that I get a http 500 server error when I attempt to to perform the same transaction
The website encountered an error while retrieving http://imslp.org/index.php?title=Specia ... ion=submit. It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly. HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error): An unexpected condition was encountered while the server was attempting to fulfill the request.

It took more than 15 hours of work, but I finally managed to track down and eliminate the problem. The whole ordeal was the result of a very obscure bug in PHP, which was activated because of the increase in traffic and database size. I hope I will never have to fix another bug as nasty as this one.
