Abdallah Mostafa	Sunday 20 February 2011 3:14:36 am Hello, A long time ago I made a batch file to clear Ez cahce from command prompt since it's much faster than Admin interface. I was working very well until a couple of weeks ago when it started to delete files from my hard drive outside the Ez folder and even outside the www root. I think this happened after I re-installed PHP. This problem happens on Ez version 4.3, PHP 5.2.6.

It's for this, since 4.4 you don't launch eZ script with root user My blog : http://www.llaumgui.com (not in eZ Publish ;-)) eZC on RHEL : http://blog.famillecollet.com/pages/Config-en eZC on Fedora : just "yum install php-channel-ezc"
Abdallah Mostafa	Monday 21 February 2011 9:54:07 am I'm on Windows Vista and my batch file looks like this d: cd\projects\hu php bin\php\ezcache.php --clear-all --purge pause My Ez installation is 4.3 and this batch file used to work fine until (I think) I re-installed PHP. Is there something I'm missing in PHP configuration perhaps?

Hello,

A long time ago I made a batch file to clear Ez cahce from command prompt since it's much faster than Admin interface. I was working very well until a couple of weeks ago when it started to delete files from my hard drive outside the Ez folder and even outside the www root.

I think this happened after I re-installed PHP.

This problem happens on Ez version 4.3, PHP 5.2.6.

I'm on Windows Vista and my batch file looks like this

d:
cd\projects\hu
php bin\php\ezcache.php --clear-all --purge
pause

My Ez installation is 4.3 and this batch file used to work fine until (I think) I re-installed PHP.

Is there something I'm missing in PHP configuration perhaps?
