Joomla Cache - Permission

Joined: 11/28/2008

Hope someone can help,

I'm trying to enable Caching on my Joomla 1.5 installation. It's running on a box with Plesk 8.0. The cache directory is set 777 with the ownership set to webaccount:psacln (Plesk group). However when the cache is enabled it writes out the directories and file with the ownership wwwrun:www so cache either never completes itself or it's not accessible. How can I make it use the owner of the Cache (webaccount:psacln) ?

Thanks

Hmm... Firstly, I don't think

Hmm... Firstly, I don't think that you want to change the ownership of the cache files. Whatever service is generating the caches (PHP, in this case) needs to own them. Your server is configured to run php as www, so you don't want to be changing that... Beyond that, if the directory is set to 0777, then it's world read/writable, and it doesn't matter who owns it since anyone and their brother can write to it /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Do you have any further error messages or anything that could help diagnose the problem further?

The ownership needs to be

The ownership needs to be changed back to the user.

I use HSPHERE Panels (simular to plesk) and sometimes the server makes the ownership set to itself, so even YOU who owns that directory in your own account cannot change the permissions of it.

Just contact your webhost and they should reset the ownership with no worries.
