   I'm having an issue with WP 2.0 where my site becomes unresponsive after hitting 'save' or 'save and continue editing' on new and existing posts. The edits do save to the database okay, but when it tries to refresh the page, it just sits there forever. Trying to load the site in a new instance of the browser even from a different machine also just sits there forever trying to load the page. This is happening on both my development machine and on my shared host.

   The development environment is as follows: OS X Tiger, lighttpd 1.4.8 as the web server, php 5.1.1 compiled as fcgi, MySQL 4.1. Live webhosting is on jaguarpc.com. The only difference between the two is that the live webserver eventually times out.

   Killing the lighttpd process and starting it again clears up the problem until the next time I trigger it. It's strange though, because while the hang is ocurring, other development sites based on the same lighttpd instance will come up fine, so it's not as if the web server is completely hanging. Web logs show no errors. Also, there's a WP 1.5.2 dev site left on my machine, and that saves with no problems.

   I'm really mystified by this one, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

   It started happening to me after I added a bunch of ping sites to my options.

   How many pings are in your list?

   I just found this plugin. It may help if the ping is your problem.

   Oops. Make sure you delete all the offending pings and update the database and then disable that plugin. It causes problems (try validating with it active). It's a good tool, just don't leave it running.

   Hmm, good thought. Unfortunately, on my dev machine I don't use any ping sites, and on the production sites there's only the one default ping site listed.

   I guess it looks like right now WP 2.0 doesn't play nicely with fcgi. Looks like maybe I'll have to dive into the code a bit and see what's really going on. :P
