Symfony 1.4: Error Clearing Cache in Maintenance Mode

Question

I'm working with a legacy Symfony 1.4 site, and upgrading at this time is not an option.

In order to deploy the site, I've created a task that first puts the site into maintenance mode, does some other work (pull down code, etc.), then clears the cache, before attempting to put the site back online (out of maintenance mode).

However, I find when I try to clear the cache in maintenance mode, it fails and I instead get the web-page back on the command line. Any suggestions on resolving this?

I’m not a symfony 1.4 specialist/enthusiast, but have you tried with just removing everything from cache dir? You can do it with:

rm -r /path/to/the/dir/with/cache/* 

(Remember about * at the end of a path to remove dirs inside cache dir)
