Fatal error: Cannot make non static method JCacheStorageHELP

[ivanmalo2]

Hi,
I just restored my joomla site from a backup done with akeeba and everything ran fine until I try to edit my general settings, there it sends me to a blank page with this error:

Code: Select all

Fatal error: Cannot make non static method JCacheStorage::test() static in class JCacheStorageCachelite in /home/qu1dwar3/public_html/truequeequino.com/libraries/joomla/cache/storage/cachelite.php on line 278

I dont even find this file in any joomla installation I've made.
I would apreciate any help, thanks.

I have the same error on a brand new install of 1.5.18 on a centOS box.

Anybody have a clue as to where to go to fix it?

I fixed it when I eliminated both chachelite.php and another file i believe winsomething.php, This worked for me but I dont think it was safe to do taht, backup your site before trying it.

[grailking]

Since the site I'm working on isn't a production site yet, I deleted cachelite.php & wincache.php and it worked for me as well.

I'm uneasy about deleting files I don't understand myself - does anybody know what I just deleted and what effect it may have in the long term?

[candise]

I tried deleting the files and came up with this error:

Fatal error: Cannot make non static method JCacheStorage::test() static in class JCacheStorageWincache in /hermes/web08/b1229/moo.playstartmusiccom/libraries/joomla/cache/storage/wincache.php on line 169

Ideas?

Guys,

If you feel uneasy about deleting files you don't know about, don't delete them... just rename them, adding the extension '.old' to the file. So, in this case, change /libraries/joomla/chache/storage/chachelite.php and wincache.php to cachelite.php.old and wincache.php.old and also /libraries/joomla/session/storage/wincache.php to wincache.php.old

It worked for me!

Thanks,

stylez

hey!
I just found a way to fix this problem.

here's what i've done
for the file:/libraries/joomla/cache/storage/cachelite.php
open it and look for "funcion test()"
it's normally at the bottom
find it and remove the word "static" in the same line

if there's still problems with
/libraries/joomla/cache/storage/wincache.php
/libraries/joomla/session/storage/wincache.php
do the similar thing to them


hope i do help :D

[wbhendrix]

thank you so much @Dale28 - this worked perfect!

[willisetech]

Thank you Dale28, this also worked for me. I needed to remove "static" from all the files you mentioned, then all was well.

[Holytoutant]

Thanks it worked for me too!

Awesome dale28...

I've been living without my Global Configuration since May but today I had to have it. I finally resolved to find an answer to this problem and yours worked!!!! Bless you, bless you... so glad to have my GC page back. YAY!!!

I tried what dale28 suggested, deleting "static" from the code but it didn't work for me.

Then....

I tried what ProgeneSafe suggested and it worked!

Thanks ProgenSafe!

I am now with Joomla! 1.5.24 and none of the above worked..

HMM!

I used Akeeba Kickstart for the first time to restore a subdomain and I just overwritten my Joomla! 1.5 main site files with Joomla! 1.7 files! Then I restored my Joomla! 1.5 back-up to my main site and I got this issue, cannot access Global Configuration, Plugin Manager and User Manager.

Then using FTP I've uploaded Joomla! 1.5.24 full stable package and overwritten all files again. Nonw Global Configuration and User Managet are still not available.

Global Configuration shows Cannot make static.... eror
User Manager page is blank..

Appreciate any help.

Good day all

I too have this problem with Joomal 1.5.22

I would like to try the advice given to change the files but I dont have a clue where to start

Would someone be kind enough to explain to a complete novice how I do this
Where do I gain access to the files

I guess there is a simple answer (always is when you know it!)

Thank you in advance

I renamed the libraries/joomla folder to joomla-old as a safety precaution and then uploaded a fresh version of this folder from the most recent Joomla 1.5.25 release.

This fixed my problem.

It appears that cachelite.php and wincache.php are no longer included in a new installation. I tried renaming those two files, but still had issues until I replaced the folder all together.

[MrQ1954]

Thank you Montano.

Very helpful.

I am am complete novice at this - can you please explain to me very briefly how I access the libraries and other files. Where do I start - I have tried everywhere I can think but cannot get into anything that looks like code

I appreciate any help on this

Thank you

[dia2000]

Thank you montano.
It didn't work with me even!

But thanks anyway...

[montano]

You will need FTP access. Something like Filezilla or SmartFTP. Look at your Joomla file structure and find the folder called libraries. Follow the path in the error (libraries/joomla/cache/storage/)

Thank you Montano.

Hi! i have also this problem ! I have a blank page on USERMANGER and CONFIGURATION.
Who has a solution?

Renaming the old folders and uploading the same folders from the latest version of Joomla worked for me.

This only works for Global Configuration, not User Manager

I used this trick and it worked for me too!

Thanx!
