if you have the "Text Domain" option in a plugin head on IIS plugin.php timesout

[pbearne]

Hi

I have a IIS server with fastCGI etc.

I kept getting timeouts trying to load plugin.php it loaded if I removed all the plugins so I added them back in one by one untill I got to one that caused the problem

I have worked out that is looks like if you have this as the start of file

this doesn't work

/*
Plugin Name: xxxxx
Plugin URI: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/xxx/
Description: xxxxx
Version: .01
Author: xxx xxx
Author URI: http://xxx.com
Text Domain: xxx-xxx
*/

this does

/*
Plugin Name: xxxxx
Plugin URI: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/xxx/
Description: xxxxx
Version: .01
Author: xxx xxx
Author URI: http://xxx.com

*/

The diff is that I have removed

Text Domain: xxx-xxx

That allows for the plugin details to be translated into a non-english language.

To me it sounds like you were hitting the PHP memory limit, you can enable WP_DEBUG mode by adding define('WP_DEBUG', true); to your wp-config.php file to see what the error is.

Are you running on a non-english locale? Which plugin was triggering it?

I'm closing this for now.

Please re-open it with specific information about your server configuration including memory limits and any other environment details which help reproduce it.
