Saving Draft error – Connection reset

  • Hello. I’m having problems with saving a draft. Every time I try to save it, it gives me Connection Reset problem.

    This is how it looks

    What can I do? The wordcount of the post is 5011.

  • if you have acess to php.ini file try increasing time allowed to php for script execution. i guess this is the issue.

    if you can’t edit php.ini then try contacting hosting guys about this.

    I do have access to my php.ini file and can edit it, but I don’t know how to increase time allowed to php for script execution.

    What line should I edit and how?

    Thank you.

    Well, it seems it has finally saved the draft. I don’t know what happened.

    as it has worked without any change from your side, we can assume it was some slowness at server side.

    in php.ini file you can increase time for which a script will run, this is setted to 30 seconds for most webhost, which can be quite slow overtime

    search for max_execution_time in php.ini file. and edit it appropraitely, might have to reboot apache after saving php.ini to reload the new values.

    max_execution_time is set to 120.

    I’ve wrote for 6 hours straight and when I clicked to save the draft I got the same error and lost everything… This is unacceptable.

    you can always press back button,i beleive your data should be there and not be lost (saved in browser cache)

    this thread has some working solution

    I tried using the back button, but the whole server/website gets down.

    I’ll have a look. Thanks!

    Alright, this is what (I think) I figured out.

    In order to have the article saved as draft, we need to have the auto-save option. If you leave the article alone for a while, it will save itself without causing any errors. You can check if it was saved by looking at the bottom of the writing box, where you have Word Count on the left and Last Edited on the right. When you finish writing you will see it says “Saving Draft” and when it’s done it says Draft Saved At [date]. If the article is long or has many links and photos it might take a while until it saves it, but at least you don’t risk losing everything by trying to save it manually.

    I hope this helps people, as I’ve seen this problem reported many times on the support forums.

    P.S.: Sorry if I’m not expressing myself too clear, I’m not a native english speaker, I’m Romanian.

    Well, it seems this isn’t working either. I’ve let the post make its auto-save for two hours and it still hasn’t saved it. Google’ing, I’ve seen that this is a common and old problem to which WordPress hasn’t payed attention.

    i heavily use wordpress and never had this issue, so i suppose this has something to do with server configuration too beside wordpress.

    as a last resort you can try manually reinstalling wordpress.

    Is there anything else I should check?
    I’m really not into IT of any kind, so before making any changes I want to be sure what I’m doing so I won’t screw anything up.

    I will try to contact my hosting provider today and I’ll tell them about the problem.

    God help us, poor wp novices. ??
