Cache permissions issue

  • Hi,
    I have been using this great plugin for some time now, but all of a sudden it stopped working giving me the following error:

    “Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 1063 is not allowed to access /home/xxx/domains/xxx/public_html/wp-content/cache/image owned by uid 1000 in /home/xxx/domains/xxx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/nextend-accordion-menu/nextend/filesystem/filesystem.php on line 86
    Couldn’t create the required cache dir: /home/xxx/domains/xxx/public_html/wp-content/cache/image/n1000000000/ Please make sure that the folder writeable by PHP!166″

    Since I am unable to change the permissions to 777 for cache sub-folders through FTP, is there a way I could prevent this plugin from caching files or find any other way to make it work again?

    Thanks

    Hi!

    You server running with safe mode. It causes that if your files or folder are under different user on linux, they won’t be able to access each others file. As the error message says, you need to change the uid of that folder. chown is the linux method for that.

    777 is just a suggestion if a folder not writable. 755 is far better for security, but usually this error means that services running under different user so we need to suggest to try it out with 777 rights.
