Cache directory is not writable

[sheryltoo]

When I went to my site today, I got a warning saying "Cache directory is not writable - this will adversely effect performance of your forum. I have no idea how to fix this. Could someone please tell me what I need to do?

Check that you have a cache folder, and that the folder is writable to the user running PHP.

Thanks for the link. I don't really understand what it all means but in the forum that was giving me this message, I upgraded it and the message went away so maybe all is good.

OK - If everything is good for now then, I'll mark this solved.

Sounds good.
