Hi All,

I recently started getting this error but I can't seem to figure out why. It doesn't seem to be affecting the site except the registered users are seeign it and Ii can't get rid of it. Can anyone help. Please.

Thanks
Mike

Sorry I mis posted the error context in the first post. The error is "Configuration error, failed to lock cache file"

Thanks

No idea what the "cache file" is, I have only seen errors about locking the "cache table".

As long as the error does not affect your site's operation, you could go to /admin/settings/error-reporting and change the setting from "Write errors to the log and to the screen" to "Write errors to the log".

Hi Cog,

I did change this setting but the error is still showing on the user pages. Thanks For the reply.

Thanks

Drupal's code does not contain the term "cache file" anywhere.

Have you installed any module having something to do with cache?

If not it must be something from the server and you might need to ask your host.

I'm having the same problem right now & I believe it's related to the ad module. I'm also getting this error on my administration page:
* Ad module failed to access cache files/.1.ad.cache. Verify file permissions.
* Ad module failed to access cache files/.2.ad.cache. Verify file permissions.
* Ad module failed to access cache files/.3.ad.cache. Verify file permissions.

Same problem?

I had the same issue after moving a site of mine to a new server. I changed the permissions of those three files to 777 and the error went away.

My ads weren't showing (ads were replaced by this error message) until I changed these permissions. All seems good now.

I hope you've found a solution after 15 months of waiting!
