Cache path not writeable

Permalink
I have had to restore a backup on the server (backup of the whole domain not C5) and am now getting this error. Bit surprised as it should have restored all the relevant permissions but clearly not. Any idea what path the error is referring to?

I suspect the problem is with operating system directory permissions, rather than c5's permission system. Some sort of chmod might be in order.

That was my thought but not sure what the path is likely to be, any ideas?

I would start by deleting everything inside the files/cache folder and the files/tmp folder and check the permissions for both whilst you are there.
Set the permissions to 0755 for both folders.

Somewhat flummoxed as those directories don't exist.

If you are using 5.6 or earlier the directories will be in files/cache and files/tmp.
If you are using 5.7 or later the directories will be in application/files/cache and application/files/tmp.
if they don't exist, create them and give the appropriate permissions as stated in my previous post.
