Description of my issue:
Hi Nicholas, My site is now up and running and I'm now a fully paid up member as promised!

I am not absolutely sure if this is an Akeeba problem or not, but as you know more about what goes on under the Joomla bonnet/hood than anyone else I know I thought you might be able to help.

I recently migrated my site from a development folder to the root. I made the move by creating an Akeeba backup file, moving it to the root, clearing all the other files from the server, and then using kickstart to install the backup.

Although everything appears to be working OK, I see about 20 warnings similar to the following displayed on Global Configuration>System>Cache Settings.

Warning: include_once(/home/*******/public_html/libraries/joomla/cache/storage/apc.php.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/watfordp/public_html/libraries/joomla/cache/cache.php on line 113 (I have added the **** as it is my account name)

What appears to be happening in all these warnings is that a second .php extension has been added to the file name - so apc.php becomes apc.php.php

Have you any idea what might be going on? I am pretty sure these messages were not there before I moved the site to the root. One other thing I did just before then was update to Joomla 2.5.7. so that also might be significant.

Another possibly related thing is the information shown in Global Configuration:Server > Database settings >Database Type

This shows information that relates to my own PC rather than my hosting company. I will not detail it here as it includes my e-mail address, account name and the name of my PC. I did originally have this site running with XAMPP on my own machine, so that is where it might have come from.

Any ideas?

So far as I can tell this is not having any impact on the running of my site.

Thanks Nicholas, Looks like this is a bit more complex though as $cache_handler = 'file'; and $session_handler = 'database'; already. I am definitely looking at the correct config file as other changes I have made are picked up. I realise I am pushing my luck if this is not Joomla related, but any other ideas?

Database login and naming details are the same for both servers - deliberate so I could transfer the site from my local machine to the hosting service. I am confident it is using the database on the hosting server as the site runs OK when my PC is turned off. Any Idea how I could find out what it should be set to?

Thanks again. I think I need to clarify a few things. There are about 20 similar messages, and it looks as though Joomla is trying to read a variety of files apc.php, cachelite.php, eaccelerator.php, file.php, memcache.php, wincache.php and xcache.php.

For some reason, Joomla appears to be adding an additional .php extension to the file it is searching for - apc.php.php, cachelite.php.php, etc. which is preventing the files from being found. I have no idea what is in those files, and it could be the contents would be ignored once read, but it is clear Joomla want to read them.

I'll leave the database one for now!

Thanks again Nicholas. I shall take your advice and ignore for now at lest. It certainly does not appear to have an obvious impact on the site. When I have a bit of time I will go through the relevant Joomla code and see if I can track it down. I suspect that I might not be making the best use of the cache facilities, but our site has relatively low traffic levels so I think we can live with it.
