Subject: Warning: lstat failedQuote this post in your reply
This may well not be a bug but, I get the following at the top of my pages sometimes.

Warning: lstat failed for /tmp/cache//atutor_cache_atutordb/phpCache.lang=enXXusersXindexXphp (errno=2 - No such file or directory) in /var/www/html/ATutor/include/phpCache/phpCache.inc.php on line 234

1. The version of ATutor you are referring to.</li>
1.3.3
2. The operating system ATutor is installed on (Windows, Unix etc., Mac ...), and its version
Linux, Red Hat 9
3. The Web server you are using and its version (Apache, Netscape, IIS...).
Apache 2.0.40

4. The version of PHP and MySQL being used (php 4.2.0+ and MySql 3.23+ are required) .

Php 4.2.2
Mysql 3.23.58

5. The Web browser you are using to view ATutor, it\'s version number, and any default settings you may have changed.

Mozilla 7, IE6 (perhaps not a browswer issue)

6. Do you have root access to your server, or are you a hosted user on someone else\'s server, etc?
yes, root.

7. List the steps you took prior to experiencing the problem.

When signing in as a user (not admin) it appears at the top of the screen and when going to the
mydomain/ATutor/admin/language.php
screen as admin, but I think that I have seen it at various places rather randomly. It may be something to do with the cache and thus occurs periodically.

ACCESS INFORMATION - I will send this by email.

Thanks,
Tim

This problem has been treated on the forums before by Joel

www.atutor.ca/view/7/1060/1.html

The answer is

A) to ensure that you are the owner of the cache (I set apache to be the owner of the cache and this does not work. Should it be the database user? Setting the owner of the cache to apache got me past that part of the installation.

B) to turn off cacheing

C) To turn off the warning by turning off safemode. I meant to do that in my php.ini for my other software.

I will disable caching but I would like it back on one day.

Since there is no forum searching tool I have been simplly browsing a bit before posting. It seems that the forums are googled so I will do more thorough goodle searchers before posting in future.

Thx Tim
FYI you can search the forums with the search field in the top left corner of ATutor.ca.

To expand on your reply, we recommend against running ATutor using Apache 2+, for now. There are still problems with PHP support. You'll likely experience other hicups, which will be compounded by the older version of PHP being used. 4.2 will work, but 4.3 is recommended.

Regarding "A" above, you could create a directory under the ATutor content/ directory (call it "cache" or something like that), make it writable (or owned by the webserver user), then point CACHE_DIR to that directory in config.inc.php
