Issue with views_simplecache not being created
By Reuven
I've created a new duplicate of an old Elgg 2.3.17 site using Laragon on Windows 11.
When I run http://mynewdomain.com/upgrade.php, it successfully creates the system_cache, but the views_simplecache directory is not generated.
How can I fix this?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you very much.

You must log in to post replies.Try to lock the simplecache in the elgg-config/settings.php file:
Then run Upgrade again.
Thank you Nikolai.
I did it.
views_simplecachewas not created. In system_cahe I have one file autoload_data.phpI would suggest you check the permissions, but you're on Windows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
What if you create this folder manually?
Will the cache be created there?
Regarding permissions on Windows I set all the folders to Full Control (Right Clickon folders->Properties->Security->select users -> Full Control. Hopefully it is good enogh.
I created
views_simplecachemanually. Still empty.Also, since system_cashe was created the permissions are ok, I think.
Do you have a symlink from /cache/ in your www root dir?
If 'yes', delete it and try run 'Upgrade' again.
Dear Nikolai, calling you a genius doesn’t even begin to cover it :)
Works OK!
Thank you very much.
