I'm completely stumped Could this be a permissions /directory issue?


I did attempt to create the cache directory (that according to the php.ini is set to /tmp/xcache, although i didn't see an xcache folder?)

so I attempted to create it and I got an interesting problem:

my process
mkdir /tmp/xcache
chmod 0777 /tmp/xcache

however once I do that and restart apache I received the following error by IPB.

Warning: xcache_isset() [function.xcache-isset]: xcache.var_size is either 0 or too small to enable var data caching in /home/mazda626/public_html/ips_kernel/classCacheXcache.php on line 95

I then removed that /tmp/xcache directory and restarted apache to get the site baaack live and working (as I don't want significant downtimes)

I have been going back and forth all morning with my managed host trying to resolve the issues, any ideas?

Hello,

Locate your php.ini

manfind php.ini

To me I would say your master php.ini has the value set to 0, Look for the line:

xcache.var_size=0

If you do not have such thing, Add the line in the xCache settings:

xcache.var_size=64M

Then restart apache.

Hope this helps.

ps: run this:

chmod 777 /tmp/xcache/*
