Hi,

Even though I set the pages to expire after an hour, my site's cached pages hasn't expired at all since installing the module. Any idea what's going on? Thx.

Sadly 5.x is not supported at this time.

My guess is file permissions, can you manually del the file? Write a script and that targets 1 file in your node folder. See if it can delete it.

Hi Mikey,

Yes, I can manually delete the files in shell. Does the number of files affect it? Cuz I do have a lot of files. Each time cron is run, does it go and check every file in the folder to see which file has expired? Thx.

For 5.x it checks every file via the glob function. 6.x doesn't have this issue. The number of files can effect apache if your 100k+ #410730: System limits: Number of files in a single directory; which can be fixed for the most part via #174380: Remove symlink creation. Let each path have own file.

My guess is the problem is in the _boost_rmdir_rf() function.

ok, i don't think I have 100k files. I'll check out that boost function. What's the best way to see if that's the culprit?

Here's all the issues with the function. Almost all are for 6.x, which means they haven't been fixed in 5.x.

Closing all 5.x issues; will only reevaluate if someone steps up #454652: Looking for a co-maintainer - 5.x

Reason is 6.x has 10x as many users as 5.x; also last 5.x dev was over a year ago. The 5.x issue queue needs to go.
