[Plugin: WP Super Cache] high traffic site = lots of expired pages

Do you have the garbage collection set to work every hour?

If so, can you debug the prune_super_cache() function? Use error_log to log when it’s called, and what files it deletes. (Use Google to find out how to use error_log)

Hi donncha

I love your plug-in but after my traffic increased wp-super-cache is giving me problem… because is getting the /tmp directory full quickly

Then mysql cannot write temp table… etc etc and wp-super-cache then caches my frontpage without categories and without content…
Only direct url post are visible… and the cats menu disappears.

Is there any way to tell wp-super-cache to store those files in another location different than /tmp ??

engelsol – check your wp-content/wp-cache-config.php – what’s the value of $cache_path? Are you on a shared hosting account that has problems with using wp-content/cache/ as the cache directory? (ie. CPU usage sky rockets, it’s on NFS)

Are you using the latest version?

What is your garbage collection time set to? Have you verified if it’s deleting anything?

$cache_path = WP_CONTENT_DIR . ‘/cache/’;

THE PROBLEM….
Donncha… I am on my own server…
wp-super-cache is caching well to “wp-content/cache/”

But for some reason it also create many many files at the “/tmp” creating all kind of problem for wp, mysql, etc. when that memory dir become full.

After I MANUALLY delete wp-super-cache files from /tmp and clear the cache everything works until /tmp got full again.

HOW to avoid those files at the “/tmp” directory of linux

UPDATE:
I just installed your your version.

Now I dont see the garbage at the “/tmp”

I am suffering a DIGG like effect since 2 days ago… the site is almost unusable because of this… I have upgrade the server 2 times in 2 days… it is a news site with a hot news we published…but at least now I can browse… I will let it run 2 hours and then will give an update to see how it goes… I am using the latest build…wp 2.7 RC1

ok… this is has being working well…
the last version sold many problems for me…

Thanks donncha
