Can’t access blog

    I am currently using 2.5.0, with my site hosted on Yahoo.

    I had no problems at first, but today I find that I can’t access my front page, specific posts, etc. I just get a message like this:
    Couldn’t write to: /blog/wp-content/cache/wp-cache-39520e2abd4f899d9df2c95e2e736b7c.html

    My admin controls work fine, it’s just the blog itself that’s MIA.

    Any ideas?

  • Turn off the wp-cache plugin and see what happens.

    Actually, it was already inactive. I just turned it on to test it, and got the same result (it’s back off now).

    What are the permission structures of the /cache directory, and also that particular file?

    WP-content does not have a directory called cache. “That file” is coming from wp-cache trying to write that file.

    I just cracked open my FTP program to take a look, and now that you mention it there was no /wp-content/cache/ folder. Which was apparently the problem, since I just created one and suddenly everything is working again. I have no idea what happened to the old one, but I’m quite sure I didn’t go in and delete it myself.

    Thanks for the help. I’m marking this as resolved.

    kmessinger: Wait, are you saying that what I just did should not have worked?

    My understanding was that the /cache folder is created once you activate wp-cache plugin, and it should not vanish after wp-cache is deactivated. Do you see any file in your newly created /cache ?

    Yep.

    If wp-cache is not there then what is writing the file?

    There are files in the wp-content/cache/ folder. I don’t know what’s writing them, as I’ve had the wp-cache plugin turned off since before the folder was created.

    There’s one file in it called “wp_cache_mutex.lock,” and the size of it is given as 0. For the rest, there are over a dozen pairs of files like this:

    wp-cache-0607708726832460ffd4c825cb89de68.html
    wp-cache-0607708726832460ffd4c825cb89de68.meta

    Each pair starts with “wp-cache-” and ends with “.html” for one and “.meta” for the other, but has a unique string of numbers and letters in between.

    Since the blog started working again I’ve posted one comment and published one draft. Anything else I should tell you?

    You might open one of the html files and see what it says.

    Glad it is working but it still has something to do with the plugin. WP does not created files like that.

    But, if it ain’t broke . . .

    BTW, upgrade as soon as you are able to.
