Cleared cache manually, but the file an the error regenerate.

Hi,
for better response, you need to upload your file : data/cache/application/ormMetadata.php'

step :
clear_cache
rebuild
open espocrm
error occur
copy file data/cache/application/ormMetadata.php
rename in ormMetadat.log
post on forum

so forum user can check where issue.

Thank you @item,

Here is the file.

It is zipped because it heights 1.58MB and the forum does not allows me to upload such a large file.

Hello,
i have do this :

$data = include 'data/tmp/ormMetadata.php';
$json = json_encode($data);
file_put_contents('data/tmp/ormMetadata.json', $json);

Sorry, it's out of my skill after.

I recently got this error, the php is blank. It is probably corrupted.

Any way for me to manually disable this file from being created?

Delete the cache folder does not help.
I can't use my GUI to Clear Cache
My SSH CLI is not running it either.

Hi all.

Based on reading thing and 1 painful day of trial and error. I still have no idea. How I manage to fix this error was. Rename the data folder.

Refresh EspoCRM, it will create a new instant. Copy the old internal-config.php data. Not the whole thing, just the database login section! Copy everything your Espo will die again.

I will look further into it in the future but I just want to start using espoCRM again.

I'm guessing some of the data is corrupted or not transferable?
