Why the errors? - their back

[herbshirt]

I haven't been web designing for a while but a client has just emailed me to notify me of some errors on his home page (also in admin). The site is running: 1.2.3 "Black Rock" http://www.simonportus.com.au/

This was found in admin and on the home page:

Warning: fopen(/home/simpor68/public_html/tmp/cache/contentcache.php) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/simpor68/public_html/lib/classes/class.contentoperations.inc.php on line 549
Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/simpor68/public_html/lib/classes/class.contentoperations.inc.php on line 550
Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/simpor68/public_html/lib/classes/class.contentoperations.inc.php on line 551

I notice there's a new release. Would that be the cause? If so, how come another site running the same version wasn't affected? As long as I have site running cms ms will this be an ongoing concern?

(I'll go upgrade now - a scary task)

Thanks,
Herb.

it's because the permissions on your tmp directory got closed down, they should be 777

Thanks Calguy,

I changed the permissions on tmp folder to 777 - same errors.

So I tried 'include change to subfolders'  - same errors. Is there a file I need to re-upload?

At the risk of asking the obvious, have you tried clearing the cache in Admin?

Thanks Nullig.

It wasn't obvious to me so thanks. Just learnt another one.

The errors mentioned before came back.

I cleared cache... gone again.

When it becomes problematic, like your site seems to be, I usually put a cron job in to clear it every day at midnight.

Code: Select all

rm -rf /path/to/your/tmp/cache/* | rm -rf /path/to/your/tmp/templates_c/*
