Hi,
the question would be: Why do you want to use the rebuildFileCache.php maintenance script?
What is the goal you want to achieve? Varnish does (from what I remember when I last setup
varnish for MediaWiki) not need the file cache, which is built in MediaWiki, and all these
files and caching capabilities would be doubled, as they're already delivered with
varnish. Have you followed the (maybe already very outdated) documentation on
mediawiki.org:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Varnish_caching
?
A bit more details of your configuration would probably help, too :)
Best,
Florian

Thanks Jeff. I'll give that a try. The size of the database is
intermediate, I think. I'v got about 30,000 articles with a crap load of
mathematics embedded in them. As I said this is my first issue that I've
not been able to get resolved quickly.

If you're using rebuildFileCache.php, you probably
have
$wgFileCacheDirectory set to specify the location of the cache files. Log
in as root and clean out that directory, and that should clear up the
immediate problem so you can get back in.
Unfortunately, I don't use varnish so I have no idea what you need to do
next. It seems odd that the file cache would fill up like that. Just how
many articles are in your wiki?

Just a situation I find myself in. I recently
started trying to improve
the
speed of performance of my mediawiki site. To do
so I installed varnish,
and set up memcached to run on that server. debian Linux 8 with php7
from
backports. Now I got all of the update done and
checked to see that the
server was running OK: the last step was to rebuild the caching files
using
the command php rebuildFileCache.php. I've
used this before with no
complications however this time it filled up my entire diskdrive 923GB
and
I'm not sure what to do the clean up my mess.
The entire system will boot
up but the drive is so bloated that I cant even log in in the xterminal
desktop. I do have full access as root on the regular terminal.
I would really appreciate any tips to handle this.
Thanks
