I keep getting this frustrating error even though I have chmodded the files and directories to all sorts of settings. I have it currently set to 777 but still it nags on:

php is v5.3.

Hi Draecko,

SilverCart tries to create some folders for the cache in line 367 of _config.php. Simple PHP stuff, nothing fancy.

The warnings mean that either the directory "silverstripe-cache" (should be located in the web-root, i.e. same level as the silvercart folders) is missing or that subdirectories cannot be created due to file permissions.

Can you please verify that the directory "silverstripe-cache" is present in the webroot and that it has the proper rights?

Cheers
Ramon

Yeah, that's what I thought, it shouldn't be anything fancy. I'm using the complete silverstripe+silvercart package to install, which already includes the silverstripe-cache folder. I already had chmodded that folder fully recursive to 777, but it didn't help...

Hello Draecko,

could you try the following please:

In "silvercart/_config.php" change line 367 from

to

This call will try to create the folders recursively.

If that fails you could try (just for testing purposes) to set the permissions of your "/silverstripe" folder to 777.

Let's hope one of the proposals works :)

Ok, I've tried editting the php code, but it didn't solve it. So I've chmodded /silverstripe to 777 to try out, but now some other error shows up unfortunately...

Server log:

I'll try messing with the chmod of some directories, I'll be back later.

Thanks for the help so far guys!

Ok, chmodding just the /silverstripe folder to 755 (not fully recursive) results in the same php warnings as the original post.

Hi Draecko,

that sounds like a webserver configuration problem. What Webserver do you run your installation on?

I'm running it on a remote host. Not sure what the configuration is, does the following picture help?

It says it runs on php 5.2, but php 5.3 is enabled on the silverstripe folder using a .htaccess with

edit: I tried silvercart 1.3.7, the line of the error shifted to 424.
