Where is config stored?

  • I’m having a massive issue with the config file not saving on my production server and im trying to find out why.

    It seems like settings will stay saved for about 5min but then after a refresh or two everything goes away and reverts back to default. When looking in wp-content i dont see any config. If i create my own config within there and give it 777 write permission nothing actually gets written to it and the file remains blank. So my question is….

    Where is the config file suppose to be? What should it be named? Why would the site refresh or not save settings?

  • Same issue here but when I try to auto-scale with AWS, same exact files except it doesn’t see my settings and I have to start all over.

    Where does W3TC store the config for the CloudFront CDN?

    I’m noticing this as well. We store our blog in a repository. Every time we do a site update, the site gets completely reinstalled from the repository (not merged). And every time, the configuration is wiped out.

    I had a look and noticed that in /wp-content/cache/ there’s a config directory, with a master.php file.

    My local dev environment hasn’t allowed me to overwrite my W3 settings (a permissions error that I was ignoring assuming that the settings were stored in the database and it wouldn’t matter), but this would explain that issue, as well as why we lose our settings.

    @scorpiono and @poopertropper — have a look in that directory, make a copy, make changes, and see if the new version diffs from the old. If so, then that’s your answer.
