I integrate phpfastcache like this:

require_once("3rdparty/phpfastcache-final/src/autoload.php");
use phpFastCache\CacheManager;
CacheManager::setDefaultConfig(array(
"path" => 'cache'
));

It works on my local dev system (XAMPP Version 7.0.8), but not on the live system hosted by 1and1.

Hello,

You may have another issue: The Webserver is not allowed to write on the directory that belong to your user (root or something else).

You may need to perform a chown to give the transfer the directory to another user.

Hi,

I don't think that is the problem.

Phpfastcache scripts do successfully create subfolders in my "cache" directory ("cache/mysite.de/Files") and they also successfully create a .htaccess file in the " /cache/mysite.de/Files" directory to which the error message says it can't write to, because of missing write permissions.

Cheers,
Michael

Can you try to create the file automatically using an external php script that you call from the webserver ?
It looks really like a server misconfiguration to me as the latest build successfully passes :/

[Pansa237]

Sorry, don't know what you mean by "create the file" - what file?

Scripts and folders to write to all have the same owner/group - and like I said, scripts do really creat subfolders and a .htaccess file - just the cache files cannot be created...

[Geolim4]

Do you have enough free space on the disk ?
Also please specify an absolute path on the "path" config :)

[Pansa237]

Disc space is more than sufficient.

Absolute path (dir."/cache") helped - can you update your error message there? It is very misleading and cost me quite some time...
Especially as relative path worked in my local dev system.

Thanks!

Had the same problem. The error message is indeed misleading when relative paths are used.

[Geolim4]

Done, the exception now throw a more descriptive message :)

Georges
