Hi,
I deleted the /var/lib/openhab2/cache directory and now all settings gone, however I didn’t change the config files at all. After restarting the service only a start page is displayed suggesting to add a ui.
The addons.cfg file contains all configuration but the listed ui’s don’t start at all. How can I force the re-read or re-cache all the settings? I cant believe that deleting a cache directory brakes the whole application. 
Thanks for your reply in advance,
Gabor

There is nothing permanent in cache so either something else got deleted too by accident or something else is wrong.
Check your add-ons.cfg. There are reports of it becoming slightly corrupted in the latest snapshot. Mainly the addition of quotes and sometime a stray D.
Thanks for the tips! Switching to the latest snapshot has solved the problem though I had to re-add some of the addons. I think it is a bit “overcomplicated” how the configs and their caching and the caching of caching works in this application 
But such is java ecosystem…
