CakePHP views question

Question

I am working on a project using CakePHP and have been trying to update some views. The file uploads to the server correctly but the system seems to serve the old version. I am kind of new to Cake so I'd appreciate any pointers.

Thanks!

Answer 1

It could be that view-caching is enabled, check core.php for

define ('CACHE_CHECK', true);

Answer 2

Where are you putting the views? Also, make sure the /tmp/cache/ folder doesn't have any lingering crap in it that might be getting rendered.

Edit:

If you set the debug level in config/core.php to something higher than 0, caching will be disabled and you'll get nice error messages if something poops the bed.

Answer 3

I experienced the same thing. The trick is to clear out all of $YOUR_APP_FOLDER/tmp/cache when deploying new code, to erase any conflicting cache.

cd $YOUR_APP_FOLDER
rm -f tmp/cache/*/*
