[ReHaB Gaming]

I've just gone to access our forum only to be met with this message -

I'm the only admin and I've not made any changes and/or installed any mods for months. It's been working without any problems for a year now until this message suddenly appeared.

Any ideas and/or suggestions?!?

Try clearing all of the cached files in ./cache MAKING sure, to only delete the cached files, not index.php or .htaccess (if it applies) to you

Edit: When I say clearing - I mean delete them.

[ReHaB Gaming]

Perfect!

Thanks for your prompt help!

Edit - Purely out of curiosity what would cause that error?

[Matthew K.]

As the error states, it looks like it's something wrong with modSettings, in other words, something that was inputted in to a field, possibly? It depends.

Glad you got it working, and not a problem.

This topic has been marked as solved hence your reply/new question may be better in a new topic

[Matthew K.]

This is Nango's support topic, and it is resolved.

Please open your own topic, regarding your issue. If you post the link here, I will have a look.

Why does this keep happening now when it's been fine for the previous 12 months or more?

Each time it occurs I clear the cache folder and the forum is fine again until it randomly happens the next time.

[ReHaB Gaming]

Now I've lost everything - http://www.nango-gamers.co.uk/forum/

Edit - Had to download SMF again and upload index.php to get it back.

Something weird is going on somewhere.

Do you have that file?

[Aleksi "Lex" Kilpinen]

Hi Nango, any updates on this? Is this still an issue?

[Srinib]

Since the issue of this topic is very old, i would have started my topic as a new one. Because my issue is the exactly the same, i am posting it here itself.

My home page brings up the above errors.

And i have a bunch of "data_73b48d......" files starting from "data_73b48d048470364c7240932ed7c99471-SMF-parse-96-62ff54bad228e2b1408617636c587eee.php" to "data_73b48d048470364c7240932ed7c99471-SMF-theme_settings-1.php" in /cache.

What could be the problem?

If it is of any use for further investigation, i shall provide you with all the(27 of them all) "data_73b48d......" files in my /cache.

[Kindred]

just delete the data_ files from your cache folder  -- as instructed in the first repsonse

[Srinib]

I just deleted data_73b48d048470364c7240932ed7c99471-SMF-modSettings.php. And it seems working. That is fine.

But why does it happen this way? What exactly is the issue?

[Arantor]

Because the file cache is buggy in 2.0.
