Clear cache function

nirtzi · Post by **nirtzi** » Wed Jun 11, 2014 6:26 am

Hello,

I use phpbb3 forums, and run a daily php script on the db server for updating user's permissions .

After running the script I found that only after clearing the cache manually from the admin panel,

I can see the changes in the forum website.

Where can I find the clear cache function in the servers library so I can add it to the automatic script?

Thanks.

Why do you need to clear the cache to update user permissions?

See the documentation that comes with the board: docs/auth_api.html#acl_cache

Changing permissions puts a big load on the database server, you may want to reconsider why you are updating permissions daily and whether it is actually necessary.

I don't know.

The script deletes, inserts and upates user groups and group permission to the forum's db.
After the script is done, I can only see a small part of the web site forum (apparently because of permission issue) and after purging the cache, I can see all forum lists...

I suggest you edit your original script to do its function inside the Admin Panel. Purging the cache as cron job would load your server.
