 * When I publish or edit a post the process hangs until it times out. Oddly, if
   I stop the page load before the time-out occurs and then refresh the page, my
   changes and updates are saved. Any idea of what I can reload or refresh to make
   my sites work properly again?

 * I’m not sure how to move this over, but I just realized I maybe need to move 
   to this post to another forum. The error is:

 * Maybe not . . . I disabled Supercache and now it just stalls at a blank page.

 * Disable and remove all of the supercache files.
 * Then check your error log on the server.

 * When I try to remove the files I get the same error:

 * I also can’t delete posts anymore. It just hangs and gives me the same error.
