Hi,
all of a sudden the cache folder in the moodle 'system' folder (not moodledata) dissappeared, resulting in a white screen and error:
PHP Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required '/home/####/public_html/moodle/cache/lib.php' (include_path='/home/####/public_html/moodle/lib/pear:.:/opt/cpanel/ea-php71/root/usr/share/pear') in /home/####/public_html/moodle/lib/setup.php on line 613
restoring the folder and the files within solved the issue, but I would like to know what happened here and how I can avoid it in the future.
Best,
Tim
edit: moodle version 3.8.3, php 7.1. There seems to be no sign of any malicious code or ftp-logins
