cache "file doesn't exist"

[lsd_se]

I have had my OSC installed for some time and it worls great.

 

However, I was trying turn on the cache and it doesn't seem to work.

 

I created a folder called "tmp"

chmod 777

defined it in config-> cache

turned on cache in config->cache

 

but under tools->cache control it jsut says "file doens't exist"

 

what else do i have to do? any suggestions would be appreciated!

site is here by teh way, i want to cache my categories box

The message 'file does not exist' simply refers to the fact that it hasn't been cached yet.

 

But I wouldn't recommend caching if you are on a shared server and the server uses a shared 'tmp' folder - as you could end up in a real mess - getting other websites Categories on your website.

thanks for your reply.

 

so how do I cache the file and make the file?

I read through the documentation but it doens't explain how.

I am having the exact same problem. Some help on this would be greatly appreciated. I have tried creating a new temp folder under my public_html with all permissions and still get the exact same message. It is really starting to bug me. Please HELP!

Your cache directory is define using the absolute path. Such as:

/home/httpd/vhosts/yourdomain.com/httpdocs/cache

hi Avec,

 

Thanks for your reply, but I tried that path as well, but it doesn't work either.

Assuming you used the correct path for your site, and the cache directory exists - do you have the permissions for the directory set correctly? I think mine are set to 777.
