Hi folks,

When I add either ...

<%@ OutputCache Duration="600" Location="Any" VaryByParam="*" %>

or

<%@ OutputCache CacheProfile="CmsArticlesListOrItem" %>

(.. and this into the web.config file...)
<caching>
    <outputCacheSettings>
        <outputCacheProfiles>
            <add name="CmsArticlesListOrItem" duration="600" varyByParam="*" />
         </outputCacheProfiles>
    </outputCacheSettings>

    <sqlCacheDependency ........ ></sqlCacheDependency
</caching>

my page/site crashes with the following error:-

Source: System.Web

Ok .. so for some reason, the OutputCache wants a folder/file to be there? Well, i've had this site live for around 3 years and i'm pretty sure that the folders \Controls and \Controls\InfoAdvice doesn't exist on my production server. On my localhost, it sure does .. and contains a large list of ascx controls.

But they don't exist on my live server.

So ... what is going on here?

Can anyone please help?

Oh :) Before someone suggests I create those two folders and even stick a random file in those folders .. and have some random text in those random files .. i've done that and it doesn't seem to work, still :(

Please Help !
