Hi,

I’m getting the following in my template debugging:

Minimee [INFO]: Cache Path `/var/www/vhosts/xxx/subdomains/upright/cache` is being appended to Base Path `/var/www/vhosts/xxx/subdomains/upright`.
Minimee [INFO]: Cache Path is now `/var/www/vhosts/xxx/subdomains/upright/var/www/vhosts/xxx/subdomains/upright/cache`.
Minimee [ERROR]: Not configured correctly: your cache folder `/var/www/vhosts/xxx/subdomains/upright/var/www/vhosts/xxx/subdomains/upright/cache` does not exist.

I have tried leaving the path empty, setting it to /cache, and using the full path. If I set it to /cache minimee appears to work, but then can’t find the cache files.

I have quite a few installations and I’ve never seen this before. Any idea what’s going on?

(Minimee 2.1.13, EE 2.10.1)

Hi elsmore,

Are you configuring Minimee via the Extension, or config? What other values have you set to non-default values?

Normally, you can simply set both the Cache Path and Cache URL to a relative folder name, e.g. ‘cache’, and Minimee should find it just fine.  Can you try that?

Cheers,
John

Hi John,

I’m setting the paths in the Minimee extension. Everything is default. If I use ‘system/expressionengine/cache’ it finds the directory and writes a css file, but then can’t access it:

You don’t have permission to access /system/expressionengine/cache/8d6706da3721b67d42b3bbf33a690c2063d8d674.1437511730.css
on this server.

The cache directory has 777 permissions, the file 644.

Hi elsmore,

You shouldn’t be using expressionengine’s cache folder, you should create your own at the public root.  So if your site is being served from `public_html`, then create a cache folder there, e.g. `public_html/cache`.

Once you’ve done that, then set Minimee’s Cache Path and Cache URL both to be simply `cache`.

Cheers,
John
