Unable to access or write to cache directory!

Unable to access or write to cache directory!

Problem

Critical message: Unable to access or write to cache directory! These warnings may app in your admin messages when AbanteCart's System Check is Enabled in Admin > System > Settings > System.

Solution

Each file and directory on your server is assigned access rights for the owner of the file, the members of a group of related users, and everybody else. Rights can be assigned to read a file, to write a file, and to execute a file (i.e., run the file as a program). This is important because AbanteCart may need access to write cache files to enable certain functions or disable access to write for the public users (world).

/system/cache/ directory should be set with 777 permissions.

To change permissions use your hosting cPanel file manager or an FTP Client. FTP programs ("clients") allow you to set permissions for files and directories on your remote host. This function is often called chmod (chmod is a UNIX command that means "change mode" on a file.) or set permissions in the program menu. Right-click 'file' and select 'File Permissions'
  • Use FTP client to change permissions or contact your host to solve this.
