Hi all,

Yesterday, I ran into an issue that has been described in several other topics here on phpbb.com. My board was unavailable for all users, displaying only:

Code: Select all

[phpBB Debug] PHP Warning: in file [ROOT]/phpbb/di/container_builder.php on line 146: require(./cache/production/autoload_4335734bbdd20f86549a504dff5f80c.php): failed to openstream: No such file or directory
As advised in the other topics, I deleted the content of the cache folder (except .htaccess and index,html), which allowed me to access the ACP and clear the forum cache (which is maybe exactly the same thing...) and the issue went away.
However, I would like to know what happened!
I noticed in the Apache logs that all forum pages responded with 500 errors from 4:44 PM on, which is exactly the time I deactivated Viglink extension according to the phpBB ACP logs. Note that while Viglink extension was until then activated in the ACP -> Extensions, I had disabled its functionalities in the ACP -> Viglink settings.

PHP error logs show the same error:

Code: Select all

[21-Jun-2018 16:44:38 UTC] PHP Fatal error:  require(): Failed opening required './cache/production/autoload_4335734bbdd20f586549a504dff5f80c.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/srv/data/web/includes') in /srv/data/web/vhosts/forum.francocube.com/htdocs/phpbb/di/container_builder.php on line 146
... until the moment I deleted the cache folders. I am running PHP 5.6.30

Then there are a few times:

Code: Select all

[21-Jun-2018 18:38:42 UTC] PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught exception 'Twig_Error_Loader' with message 'There are no registered paths for namespace "phpbb_viglink" in "overall_footer.html" at line 98.' in /srv/data/web/vhosts/forum.francocube.com/htdocs/vendor/twig/twig/lib/Twig/Loader/Filesystem.php:209
Stack trace:
#0 /srv/data/web/vhosts/forum.francocube.com/htdocs/phpbb/template/twig/loader.php(135): Twig_Loader_Filesystem->findTemplate('@phpbb_viglink/...')
#1 /srv/data/web/vhosts/forum.francocube.com/htdocs/vendor/twig/twig/lib/Twig/Loader/Filesystem.php(150): phpbb\template\twig\loader->findTemplate('@phpbb_viglink/...')
#2 /srv/data/web/vhosts/forum.francocube.com/htdocs/vendor/twig/twig/lib/Twig/Environment.php(330): Twig_Loader_Filesystem->getCacheKey('@phpbb_viglink/...')
#3 /srv/data/web/vhosts/forum.francocube.com/htdocs/vendor/twig/twig/lib/Twig/Environment.php(424): Twig_Environment->getTemplateClass('@phpbb_viglink/...')
#4 /srv/data/web/vhosts/forum.francocube.com/htdocs/phpbb/template/twig/environment.php(292): Twig_Environment->loadTemplate in /srv/data/web/vhosts/forum.francocube.com/htdocs/vendor/twig/twig/lib/Twig/Loader/Filesystem.php on line 209
... after one minute (I would say, this is when I cleared the forum cache), no more errors were logged.

I will try reproducing the error on my local install, but I do not want to activate and deactivate Viglink extension again on my live board at the risk of breaking it again. Any idea about why this error happened in the first place would be greatly appreciated, and could help other users in the future!

Thanks,

Cyril

There was a ticket with cache issue, but only first pull request has been merged. And such happens that changes in merged pull request will not solve the issue.

The second pull request will cover such situations.

What to do right now?
1) Wait for the release with fix and clear cache folder every time when you have such issue
2) Apply temporary fix as in second pull request and wait for release

Thank you very much for your answer.
As the issue happened only once so far, I will wait for the next release.

Have a nice week-end,

Cyril
