hi Monica.

Are you usign a multiple server installation? 

regarding to the first part of your question, it's strange... i would expect that if the file is removed, accidentally or not, ez publish should try to generate it again if needed... so, maybe can be also a permission problem?

Hi Carlos,

I don't think the installation is on multiple server. My solution didn't work for long, since when the cache was cleaned again, the problem came back.

I think it was a corrupted mutex file (after digging for a loooong time), that had its xxx_meta companion no more, so ez couldn't access the meta information (such as pid and so on). After deleting the lonely mutex file everything went back to normal.
