Local copy shows white screen with errors – running on MAMP server

  • (I submitted this yesterday but it’s was deleted for some reason.. so here we go again)

    This is a local copy of a live site that I am trying to set up. Could I just delete the plugin on my local copy? I don’t see how this plugin would benefit a local site?

    If I do delete, where do I delete everything?

    I have these errors showing on a white screen when I go to the site:

    Warning: include_once(/home1/myleiaco/public_html/leiainc/wp-content/plugins/wp-super-cache/wp-cache-phase1.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/leiainc/wp-content/advanced-cache.php on line 21

    You should keep local installation because you sometime need to check cross compatibility with other plugins. Anyway, you can disable caching on dashboard (WPSC Settings), but keep WPSC activated. You could enable caching before copying changes to production server and test is everything works as should.

    It could be an issue in wp-config.php because constant WPCACHEHOME should point to correct directory (which is probably different path for development and production server).

    I totally agree with you on keeping the local installation.

    So regarding those errors, in wp-config.php I changed the constant WPCACHEHOME and is now defined as this: define( 'WPCACHEHOME', '/wp-content/plugins/wp-super-cache/' ), which is the correct path but the errors still show.

    Constant WPCACHEHOME should contain absolute (full) path (eg. /home/user/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-super-cache/). Maybe you could try to add __DIR__ before (I’d guess that you have installed PHP >=5.3 ):

    define( 'WPCACHEHOME', __DIR__ . '/wp-content/plugins/wp-super-cache/' );

    It should prepend “current” directory (where wp-config.php is stored). Also, you need to check wp-content/wp-cache-config.php($cache_path), but it’s possible that will automatically changed if you open WPSC settings (admin dashboard).
