Re: Why is X-Cart 5 so unstable?
The cache rebuilding process is delicate, anything that has been changed in the code, and perhaps even the development environment itself can make the rebuild fail. I encourage everyone to test on a dev copy of the store before initiating a rebuild on their live site.
During development with X-cart 5, I am rebuilding the cache quite frequently, but on the live site, it is not needed very often. I always test my new code on a copy before deploying it on the live server.
So I guess my advice is to increase the stability of XC5 and decrease the likelihood of ever having to re-install it, minimize the cache rebuilds on your live site, and always keep a working copy of the site on your local machine or in a sub-folder on the server.
