Hello,

I migrated my old IPB to the latest version. Everything was working perfectly until I changed a parameter and now the site has a 500 error.

The parameters I modified are on Advanced Configuration. I see an error on "Template disk cache path" :

So, I modified with my new directory after migration. I also added the cron indicated on Advanced configuration to my crontab. The error disappeared but, since this modification, my IPB forum is down with error 500. When I switch to Offline mode, the users can see the maintenance message, that's all.

I have no errors logs. I try to put the old value to Template disk cache path but, forum is down.

I don't know what is my mistake but all working fine before this manipulations. I check, my uploads directory is with chmod 777, like datastore.

Thanks for your help.

Try disabling completely the template disk caching setting for now. Does that fix the issue?

Yes, it's works when I disable it. 

Do I need to reactivate ?

Not really. The setting may speed up things slightly based on the server configuration, but I found it causes problems more often than not. Personally, I suggest leaving it disabling.

It is an available option to avoid overhead on your MySQL server. Most communities will not need it 🙂 .
