Identifier	#1447
Issue type	Minor issue (breaks specific functionality)
Title	yoursite.com/themes/YourTemplates/templates_cached/EN/global.css dated 12/31/1969
Status	Completed
Handling member	Chris Graham
Addon	core_configuration
Description	Seems after doing a cache clear and rebuild the "global.css" is made with a date of 12/31/1969 and the file is locked in the folder. Why is the date not current?
Steps to reproduce	Tried to change or comment out a line of code in global.css and save it then rebuild the cache. Site reverts to an hang state because the global.css file is to old for windows to recognize....
Additional information	Chris we had an issue with the setup wizard I traced it to this issue as well. My host says the file is to old to be recognized and locks it up.
Funded?	No

Hi,

Is it possible I can get access to your hosting account to check this? It's a very odd problem, possibly a bug in PHP.

This issue is private, but other non-ocProducts developers can see it. You can post private and encrypted access details in a support ticket:

Everything is possible in my world. I will open a ticket with that information your requesting on Friday when I have a chance to be available and can make a minor adaption to my hosting server. Thanks and I hope the delay is not a problem.

Hi,

The 1969 is a timestamp of zero, it's when computer time (counted in seconds) starts.

Composr sets it if there was an error generating the CSS, as a trick to basically disable the cache until the error is fixed. I doubt it is the cause of the problem, but rather a symptom.

I think I definitely need to run a lot of tests on your server.

Can I email you the access info I am a touchy Rodent with info of that nature?

Ok, I can see this was fixed in 9.0.10. I can't reproduce the 1969 problem on your site, and I can see you upgraded to 9.0.10.

Also the underlying condition, which sets the date back, only happens on a failed disk write, which isn't a normal condition. I'm getting a fair few errors on the hosting (freezes etc even in the control panel), so I don't have a lot of faith in the host's stability at the moment.

I also manually knocked global.css back to 1969 and I could delete, so I'm pretty sure it is a red-herring.

I will look into your Setup Wizard problems next (in your forum topic).
