 * Hi guys,
    I just checked an old site of mine, and my frontpage looks like :
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘new’ (T_NEW) in /homepages/1/d381725306/
   htdocs/livrescuisine_net/wp-content/plugins/db-cache-reloaded-fix/db-module.php
   on line 214
 * I tried to rename wp-content/plugins in plugins2, and this is what i get.
 * Warning: require_once(/homepages/1/d381725306/htdocs/livrescuisine_net/wp-content/
   plugins/db-cache-reloaded-fix/db-module.php): failed to open stream: No such 
   file or directory in /homepages/1/d381725306/htdocs/livrescuisine_net/wp-content/
   db.php on line 94
 * Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required ‘/homepages/1/d381725306/
   htdocs/livrescuisine_net/wp-content/plugins/db-cache-reloaded-fix/db-module.php’(
   include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php7.0′) in /homepages/1/d381725306/htdocs/livrescuisine_net/
   wp-content/db.php on line 94
 * I can’t access to wp-login on anything else other than my FTP access. I would
   prefer not to install everything again from scratch… 🙁
    Any ideas?

 * I am also stuck with this error. Need to fix it.
 * Restored an old site with DBCacheReloadedFix enabled, and now i’m stuck with 
   this error and a non-functional site.

 * This plugin has started giving me problems on some on my very old sites with 
   an http 500 error. My solution was to delete the db-cache-reloaded-fix plugin
   folder and as well as a db.php file (and if there is also a db.ini file) in the
   wp-content directory.

 * Well, the plugin is written many years ago. At that time, we did not use PHP7,
   which has some changes on syntax.
 * This issue is caused by a change of php & usage. Now you should modify the source
   code to fix, follow:
 * >  // db-cache-reload-fix.php
   >  // find ‘new pcache()’ // look, it uses ‘=& new
   > pcache()’ which is not allowed in PHP7 // change the line to: $pcache = new
   > pcache(); $this->dbcr_cache =& $pcache; // and do the same in db-module.php
 * Upload the file again, and go to your wp-admin to active the plugin.
