ArcGIS Server 10.2 caching tiles Errors

[AhmetEmre]

Hello,

During ArcGIS 10.2 caching tiles I encountered with some errors but could not find any solution in web. What I found in web as solution was to make caching as foreground process (instead of background process) by clicking Geoprocessing > Geoprocessing Options on the Standard toolbar and  uncheck background option. I did so, but errors continue flowing although caching process continues.

If I choose background cache process instead of foreground cache then cahcing halts.

What should I do?

I am getting following errors during cahcing (caching process continues):

I would first address the messages in the errors:

Xml Parsing failed.
Reason:XML document must have a top level element.

Have you checked that the conf.xml file is valid under the cache directory?

Xml Parsing failed.
Reason:Not enough storage is available to complete this operation.

Have you made sure that there's enough space on the directory the arcgiscache folder is stored?

[AhmetEmre]

1. Have you checked that the conf.xml file is valid under the cache directory?

conf.xml file is well-formed but can not see if it is valid. But only error is at Level 16 :

<Resolution>4.7773142679493699</Resolution></LODInfo><LODInfo xsi:type='typens:LODInfo'><LevelID>16</LevelID><Scale>9027.9774109999998</Scale>

There is no error at other layer I think there is some deficiency in Layer 16 ?

2 .Have you made sure that there's enough space on the directory the arcgiscache folder is stored?

Yes Im sure than 1 TB is free there in 2 days only 30 GB is used and it says 40 hours left and I have made an estimated required disk space of 140 GB <  1 TB

Below is conf.xml:
