errors when moved to new provider

[kevinm2]

I am getting the following error:

Warning: fopen(/cache_gt/zc_7eb4ed1f36d90140477d9474b61e0e26.sql): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/k/e/v/kevinm2/html/DomainDirectory/includes/classes/cache.php on line 116

Note: my cache folder (cache_gt) is outside of the DomainDirectory (one level back). I don't know why I did it that way!

my /DomainDirectory/includes/configure.php reads as follow:

// Define the webserver and path parameters
// Main webserver: eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.MyDomain.com');
// Secure webserver: eg, https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.MyDomain.com');
// secure webserver for checkout procedure?
define('ENABLE_SSL', 'true');

// NOTE: be sure to leave the trailing '/' at the end of these lines if you make changes!

define('DIR_FS_EMAIL_TEMPLATES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'email/');

// The next 2 "defines" are for SQL cache support.

// If you choose "file", then you need to set the DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE to a directory where your apache
// or webserver user has write privileges (chmod 666 or 777). We recommend using the "cache" folder inside the Zen Cart folder
// ie: /path/to/your/webspace/public_html/zen/cache -- leave no trailing slash
define('SQL_CACHE_METHOD', 'file');
define('DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE', '/cache_gt');

failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/k/e/v/kevinm2/html/DomainDirectory/includes/classes/cache.php on line 116

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/DomainDirectory/');


define('SQL_CACHE_METHOD', 'file');
define('DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE', '/cache_gt');

Three things you should do:
1. Fix the path to your cache_gt folder to include the full system path. The error message tells you the full system path to the "DomainDirectory" folder. This should help you determine the right path to enter here.

TEST and make sure you have fixed the error before going on to the next 2 steps:

2. Change your SQL_CACHE_METHOD to 'none' or 'database'.
('file' is for backward support to much older system requirements, and the others are more reliable and faster)

3. Once you determine the right path to #1 above, go to Admin->Configuration->Sessions and set the Session Write Directory to the same folder you set in #1 above.

Thanks Dr Byte.

1- Fixed the path. I now can get in the site.

But I get the follwoing warning

Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /home/content/k/e/v/UserName/html/DomainDIrectory/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file.

What should the permission on the configure.php be? it is now 644.

and also browser gives a none stop read message.

2 - As for "Change your SQL_CACHE_METHOD to 'none' or 'database'." WHich do you recommend 'none' or 'database'?

Permissions on the configure.php files depend on the server - but usually with Apache 'Read Only' permissions are either 444 or 400.

2 - As for "Change your SQL_CACHE_METHOD to 'none' or 'database'." WHich do you recommend 'none' or 'database'?

Either is fine. Both will produce almost equal results as of Zen Cart v1.3.
