Krystian Podemski Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Hello! We create a shop who has only 365 products and 100-200 visitors per day (69k visits at all). At the moment cachefs folder has few GB... is this normal? Why cache folder is so so big? Every single visitor generate his own cache? At this time we analyze cache system in PrestaShop but maybe on this forum it's person who has the same problem? @solved: cachefs is not working, now is disabled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestaShopDeveloper Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 If you really have so few products just clear the cache. No need to loose time on analyzing how the system works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krystian Podemski Posted September 21, 2011 Author Share Posted September 21, 2011 Just clear the cache? Men! It's few million of micro sized files! We can't "just clear cache" because our server it's overloaded when we do that! When shop has 60-70k visits per month imo it's good to have cached data. but why CacheFS in PrestaShop create few million files in 21 days with 69k visits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Kranzler Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Hi Krystian, Are you saying that you've already tried to refresh your cache in the Back Office under Preferences > Performance with no luck? -Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krystian Podemski Posted September 21, 2011 Author Share Posted September 21, 2011 Cache size is 5.7gb, no chance to clear cache in back-office. My questions is why cache is so big? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Kranzler Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Hi Krystian, In order to answer your question, I need to make sure I fully understand you. Have you already tried to refresh the cache with my instructions above, or have you not tried yet? -Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestaShopDeveloper Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 The cache is so big, because the cache FS is buggy. The only solution I've found so far is just to disable the FS cache clear the "cachefs" folder and then to enable it again. Personally I do not recommend my clients to use the CacheFS. Disabling "Force compile" and enabling smarty cache is enough. Using FS cache in some cases damages the performance instead of boosting it.

Krystian Podemski Posted September 22, 2011 Author Share Posted September 22, 2011 @Mike, yes I tried - without success. We tried delete cache with server console but server crash (overload). @UltraWebDev - yes, good, We disable cachefs and shop performance is on the good level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Kranzler Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Hi Krystian, Did UltraWebDev's suggestion work for you? If so, please edit your topic title to mark it as solved for others who may be looking for advice on a similar issue. -Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
