cache folder doesn't regenerate once deleted
I'm fairly sure I've deleted my cache folder before and it gets regenerated after, but it doesn't appear to be doing so anymore. Am I missremembering things, or is there another way to regenerate the cache folder?
For reference it's the www/cache folder I'm talking about here.
It will be auto-generated once you visit the site again. There's no other way.
I was hoping it would auto-generate after visiting the site again but it has not. I've even gone as far as to reboot the server that I host it on and it never comes back.
Looking at the nginx error.log I show this:
2024/03/11 14:28:26 [error] 248#248: *1 FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function prepare() on null in /config/www/inc/database.class.php:39 Stack trace: #0 /config/www/index.php(16): Database->query() #1 {main} thrown in /config/www/inc/database.class.php on line 39" while reading response header from upstream, client: 172.18.0.4, server: _, request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://127.0.0.1:9000", host: "analytics.website.com"
That's the problem. I've deleted the cache folder and it's not auto-generating. I can re-create it on my own and give it the same exact permissions as all the others and it never generates any files in it.
Please try 777 to make sure its not a permission problem. And make sure user and/or group is the correct one. I think the system expects a cache folder, but does not create one itself.
Here's what I've had this whole time on that newly created cache folder.
drwxrwxr-x 2 fleabeard fleabeard 4096 Mar 11 13:18 cache
That's 775. Please try 777 on cache. Depending on how your php+webserver is running you need a different user owner (like www-data). This could be the reason why it can not write anything.
Thanks, I've since tried 777 but no love. All my other folders are showing my name/group as the owner and seems to working fine. I don't really need to track analytics anymore anyway, so I'm just going to go ahead and delete things and dismantle it all together.
Thanks anyways for your help as always!
Did you upgrade to a newer php version? Not sure if it supports 8.3...
