Cache folder contains too many files to let us open it

[dealbyethan.com]

Hi,

There is this cache folder in the store root. It has become so big that we could no longer get into it. Our host has solved the issue and cleared the cache. To avoid this from happening again, do we need to clear the cache regularly? Is there a way to clear the cache automatically? What about using a cron job (if yes, how do we do it)?

Hi,

It largely depends on what is filling the cache up. Is the directory called 'cache' or is it the 'bmz_cache' directory that is getting big?

Regards,

Simple: Turn off whatever logging systems are generating log files in that folder.

It is the cache folder in the store root. So what do we do?

Which logging system is generating the log files in the cache folder?

Which logging system is generating the log files in the cache folder?

That depends on the names of the log files, which you've not shared, so I can't answer that question for you.
But the filenames will generally tell you where the logs come from.

Hi DrByte,

One of the filenames is myDEBUG-328818-1277980XXX.log

Any idea?

If they are all like that, you have a problem with the site that is throwing an error.

1.3.9 came out with automatic reporting of errors. Download and open one of the files and see if that doesn't point you in the right direction.

Hi,

Opened the latest file and the following error is repeated multiple times:

PHP Warning: preg_match() [<a href='function.preg-match'>function.preg-match</a>]: No ending delimiter '/' found in /includes/classes/template_func.php on line 30


How do I fix this error?

Perhaps you did not get the correct template_func.php file on upgrade or you are using an image mod of some kind.
Lines 25 thru 35 of that file should look like the following IF it is not changed by a mod.

  function get_template_part($page_directory, $template_part, $file_extension = '.php') {
    $directory_array = array();
    if ($dir = @dir($page_directory)) {
      while ($file = $dir->read()) {
        if (!is_dir($page_directory . $file)) {
          if (substr($file, strrpos($file, '.')) == $file_extension && preg_match($template_part, $file)) {
            $directory_array[] = $file;
          }
        }
      } 

Don't just change the code if it's different. Find out why.
Then.... No worries, Mate.

Hi,

Just checked the file and it has not been modified. Don't understand where the error is coming from. Any idea?
