Yikes! My WordPress Totally Died – [function.main]: failed to open stream

running 2.1.3 – would upgrade except I know podpress will break. Would upgrade now except that I can’t turn off plugins! Help!

Please ignore top message – this is the message that is showing up in my admin panel…

Warning: fopen(/home/wlfxymb/public_html/createvalue/wp-content/cache/wp_cache_mutex.lock) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/wlfxymb/public_html/createvalue/wp-content/plugins/wp-cache/wp-cache-phase2.php on line 96

95 if ($use_flock)
96 $mutex = fopen($cache_path . $mutex_filename, ‘w’);
97 else
$mutex = sem_get($sem_id, 1, 0644 | IPC_CREAT, 1);
}

wp-cache is DEACTIVATED – yet it’s creating cache files – yikes – delteing completely causes the error in post 1

How do I get out of this one?

If I make a post, I get this error on the other side.

browser locked – can’t log back in

stop that. the bumping doesnt help.

read the errors that you are getting.

you need to go in with an ftp client and REMOVE the lock file thats mentioned in the error, to start with. It cannot be written to.

additionally, read the comments on the plugin site about issues with deactivating it:

whooami – thank you – sorry if the multiple posts offended – I was trying to give complete info. ??

I changed the wp-config file now as directed and deleted wp-cache and I’m now back in business!!! *big big hug*

What I’m baffled and was freaked out by is why this acted up without me doing anything. Could my web host have done something?

Thanks again.

you edited a post, or it was deleted.. back to back posts of “my browser is locked – cant get in” isnt useful. no matter, as its solved.

as for the rest, I have no idea, ask them.

glad its sorted, happy blogging.

Please label as RESOLVED – thank you!

thats what you do .. its your topic. there’s a drop down box for you to do that.

how do you fix this line 96
