This is so bizarre. Everything just started working again while I was updating a page... very strange?

"Error caching lexicon topic ..."

so what exactly is this anyway, I'm a little afraid of it coming back again?

FYI for all.

I've had another variant on this same error happening again today and with a little help from patrick at skytoaster (thanks man!) think i've got a fix/workaround.

my cache was getting corrupted leading to display errors in the manager. reading some other forum posts i found that i just needed to delete all the folders inside core/cache. At first I was a little wary about just deleting background files of modx... but it turns out that this is perfectly acceptable.

I've since researched that the cache files occasionally corrupted all the time in modx is there anything that can be done to stop this from happening. Incidental corrupt cache can it be avoided?

The other thing is although my deleting of all the cache folders as fixed my error should it be happening so often... twice in the past 3 days. Is there something else... the real cause creating the corruption. On the both occasions it happened I was just plain-old editing resources.

Hi,

I´m facing the same problems (MODX Revolution 2.2.5-pl (traditional), after trying hours creating .htaccess files and contacting the hosting provider, still without solution ;((

Putting the "addhandler" in a .htaccess is not working for me. It parsed the php in the browser.

In my case the server is not parsing:

/connectors/layout/modx.config.js.php

/connectors/lang.js.php

I hope you can help me.

Finally we found out what the problem was. The server didn't parse .js.php files, so the backend couldn't work with these files and was not able to display documents, settings and so on.

Solution: Create a .htaccess in your main folder with this content:

RemoveType .php
AddHandler x-httpd-php53 .php
AddHandler x-httpd-php53 .js.php

Now everything seems to be working fine again. Thank you so much for your help!

When tried adding to my .htaccess file this

RemoveType .php
AddHandler x-httpd-php53 .php
AddHandler x-httpd-php53 .js.php

all I get on the front and back end is:
