Script for to remove the cache - Magento

Here i paste code to remove the cache from the magento.. magento can provide a options to us to remove cache form the admin configuration, but sometimes it not more helpful to us... so expert suggest to remove cache folder.. make one cache-clear.php file into your root folder and paste following code: <?php require_once ("app/Mage.php"); umask(0); Mage::run(); Mage::app()->getCache()->clean(); exit("done"); ?> can call that file with :http://yourdomainname/cache-clear.php hope this helps :) Cheers, Gaurav

Could not determine temp directory, please specify a cache_die manually..after magento installed

Hi guys, After magento is installed, you may have the error "Could not determine temp directory, please specify a cache_dir manually" when clicking on some pages. Usually it happened in shared web hosting, and on individual server it happened when the permission of tmp folder set wrong. Firstly, copy "/lib/Zend/Cache/Backend/File.php" to "/app/code/local/Zend/Cache/Backend/File.php", then in line 91: 'cache_dir' =>  null, change to 'cache_dir' => "var/tmp/", You can also change the cache folder wherever you want, and that directory you should create yourself and change the permission to 755. and you done :) Cheers,

Magento Admin login problem

I had a new installation of magento. But I was unable to login as an administrator. I went to the admin login page, entered correct username and password but was redirected to the same login page. Error message is displayed when I enter wrong username or password. But nothing is displayed and I am redirected to the same login page when I insert correct username and password. luckily i found solutions: The solution is to modify the core Magento code. Open app/code/core/Mage/Core/Model/Session/Abstract/Varien.php . Comment out the lines 80 to 83. The line number may vary according to the Magento version. But these lines are present somewhere near line 80. You have to comment the comma (,) in line: $this->getCookie()->getPath()//, // set session cookie params session_set_cookie_params( $this->getCookie()->getLifetime(), $this->getCookie()->getPath()//, //$this->getCookie()->getDomain(), //$this->getCookie()->isSecure(),
