devot:eeDevoted to ExpressionEngine

I love this extension! I’ve used it during the dev and it worked flawlessly until now. It suddenly displays following error message:

ERROR: Could not create cache directory. Please make directory writable.

What seems to have gone wrong here? I like to be able to continue to use the extension. How do I troubleshoot this?

This is just indicating that your cache directory is not writable. Normally ExpressionEngine can function correctly without a writable cache directory, but CacheCracker is useless unless this directory is writable.

Please make the directory writable by running this command or something similar:

For more information on what files and folders need to be writable for ExpressionEngine to function, please see this page of the ExpressionEngine User Guide: Set File Permissions

That’s quiet strange since cache directory has been set to 777 for some time and why the sudden change.

But thanks for the info.

Since ExpressionEngine will not complain if this cache directory is not writable - even if you have caching turned on for some templates - it’s possible the directory was never writable. This message is coming from CacheCracker, because the extension is mostly useless without a writable cache directory.

What are the settings of the directory set to currently? You can get this listing with this command:
