One of the "mule" domains we use for testing went belly up for no apparent reason.... suddenly home page went 'white screen' and cannot access admin area.
The database looks intact.
Exploring the site, we find the cache directory is completely empty.
1. Is there any logical reason for this to happen? ..or, just an unlucky glitch at the server?
Now...the real important question:
Is there a process that can be used to "rebuild" the cache folder?
What else is in there besides adminmenu.php
Although it's a test site...we would like to get it back to it's last known condition. As a test site, we haven't backed it up regularly...
Sure, we could overwrite with an older site backup..
...but I would very much like to know more about this problem and discover a repair procedure.
Learning from it, you know... lemonade out of lemons
Any help?
thanks
