WP Cache enables settings not saved – Nginx – Bitnami

    Hello,

    I’m having the same problem as the user in this short thread below:

    https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-super-cache-1-6-9-settings-are-not-saved/

    My webserver is Nginx and I have installed WordPress via the Bitnami stack.

    I have uninstalled and re-installed the plug-in within WordPress which didn’t work, so as recommended in the thread I’m looking at file permissions for the file:

    /htdocs/wp-content/wp-cache-config.php

    To start with, opening my /nginx/conf/nginx.conf file I can see that my webserver user is:

    user daemon daemon;

    So, going back to the /htdocs/wp-content/wp-cache-config.php file, I can see that it is owned by the nginx webserver user which also has read and write permissions on the file

    -rw------- 1 daemon¦daemon

    I tried to change the permissions to add in the webserver user’s group permissions to see if that would make a difference:

    -rw-rw---- 1 daemon¦daemon

    I restarted my stack Nginx/PHP etc after the changes, just to be sure (I know this isn’t necessary here).

    But still whenever I try to make changes within WordPress nothing is saved.

    I was able to sudo nano edit the file manually on the command line to enable the plug-in, but I’m still unable to make changes on the wordpress interface.

    Does anybody else have any suggestions on what I could try to get this working?

    I agree it could still be a permissions issue here, but right now, I’m at a loss.

    Thank you,

    Nai

    Is your wp-content directory writable? The plugin writes to a temporary file and then overwrites wp-cache-config.php which means the directory has to be writable.

    Hi,

    Chmod for that directory was set as : drwxr-xr-x

    I changed it to drwxrwxr-x 775 which seemed to fix the problem.

    Thank you for your response.

    I hope this helps others.

    Cheers,

    Nai
