Hi @Sikky

Try to run Magento Cleanup File from the root of your Magento store and the error will be fixed.

Hi,

To run cleanup, create cleanup.php file in your root and add following code in cleanup.php

 <?php

## Function to set file permissions to 0644 and folder permissions to
0755

function AllDirChmod( $dir = "./", $dirModes = 0755, $fileModes = 0644 ){
   $d = new RecursiveDirectoryIterator( $dir );
   foreach( new RecursiveIteratorIterator( $d, 1 ) as $path ){
      if( $path->isDir() ) chmod( $path, $dirModes );
      else if( is_file( $path ) ) chmod( $path, $fileModes );
  }
}

## Function to clean up the contents of specified directory

function cleandir($dir) {

    if ($handle = opendir($dir)) {
        while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
            if ($file != '.' && $file != '..' &&
is_file($dir.'/'.$file)) {
                if (unlink($dir.'/'.$file)) { }
                else { echo $dir . '/' . $file . ' (file) NOT deleted!<br />'; }
            }
            else if ($file != '.' && $file != '..' &&
is_dir($dir.'/'.$file)) {
                cleandir($dir.'/'.$file);
                if (rmdir($dir.'/'.$file)) { }
                else { echo $dir . '/' . $file . ' (directory) NOT deleted!<br />'; }
            }
        }
        closedir($handle);
    }

}

function isDirEmpty($dir){
     return (($files = @scandir($dir)) && count($files) <= 2); }

echo "----------------------- CLEANUP START ----------------------- --<br/>"; $start = (float) array_sum(explode(' ',microtime())); echo "<br/>*************** SETTING PERMISSIONS ***************<br/>"; echo "Setting all folder permissions to 755<br/>"; echo "Setting all file permissions to 644<br/>"; AllDirChmod( "." ); echo "Setting pear permissions to 550<br/>"; chmod("pear", 550);

echo "<br/>****************** CLEARING CACHE ******************<br/>";

if (file_exists("var/cache")) {
    echo "Clearing var/cache<br/>";
    cleandir("var/cache");
}

if (file_exists("var/session")) {
    echo "Clearing var/session<br/>";
    cleandir("var/session");
}

if (file_exists("var/minifycache")) {
    echo "Clearing var/minifycache<br/>";
    cleandir("var/minifycache");
}

if (file_exists("downloader/pearlib/cache")) {
    echo "Clearing downloader/pearlib/cache<br/>";
    cleandir("downloader/pearlib/cache");
}

if (file_exists("downloader/pearlib/download")) {
    echo "Clearing downloader/pearlib/download<br/>";
    cleandir("downloader/pearlib/download");
}

if (file_exists("downloader/pearlib/pear.ini")) {
    echo "Removing downloader/pearlib/pear.ini<br/>";
    unlink ("downloader/pearlib/pear.ini"); }

echo "<br/>************** CHECKING FOR EXTENSIONS ***********<br/>"; If (!isDirEmpty("app/code/local/")) {
    echo "-= WARNING =- Overrides or extensions exist in the app/code/local folder<br/>"; } If (!isDirEmpty("app/code/community/")) {
    echo "-= WARNING =- Overrides or extensions exist in the app/code/community folder<br/>"; } $end = (float) array_sum(explode(' ',microtime())); echo "<br/>------------------- CLEANUP COMPLETED in:". sprintf("%.4f", ($end-$start))." seconds ------------------<br/>"; ?>

Now make call to that file from your browser using http:// your domain.com/ cleanup.php.
