Magento cache not cleared

Question

I had some configuration problems in my local.xml , which I cannot load on my magento interface or my admin panel, and then fixed the problem that I had in my local.xml , and to load my new configuration, I deleted everything in / var / cache and even where there are folders / var / session . But, to my surprise, Magento is still loading the old local.xml settings.

I tried restarting apache and cleared the browser cache, nothing works.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Successfully solve the problem, and this is the strangest thing. When I modify local.xml to fix the problem, I put a backup of the old file called local_back.xml. I just delete this file and now everything works fine. I do not know why Magento took this file. Any problem has been resolved.

Note: see the comments below for more details, this is the .xml file extension

To make changes to the kernel configuration and force them to stick (local.xml, base URLs, etc.), you need to clear the Magento cache code, often manually deleting the mage--? subfolders mage--? in var/cache/ .

Caching configurations can cause all kinds of headaches, including base URLs that still indicate the initial installation of Magento (different folders, different servers), even though you can use phpMyAdmin and see that the rows have been updated in the database, The configuration will not be re-read from the database until the cached configuration information is deleted.

The other place where the material is stuck is in the op-code APC cache if you use it. Use the apc.php administration apc.php to clear it. Stopping and restarting Apache will achieve the same result

And finally, if YOU DO NOT HAVE PERMISSIONS FOR var/cache/ AND var/tmp/ SO THEY ARE SECURED AND PROHIBITED BY YOUR WEB SERVER, Magento can store cached information in the /tmp system , which means that no clearing of the Magentos cache is possible will cause the cached configs to disappear until someone reboots the server, the /tmp system will be cleared, and Magento will apparently read its configs automatically. Or they tell you this, and you have access to delete the Magento cache from /tmp . Here is some documentation that this happens in the temporary storage folder of the system with the root (see. Images)

Note. . If you back up your local.xml file, rename it to something like local.xml.sv1 or you will find that Magento is still reading it.
