wp cli unable to write inside the cache files folder. Home Server.

    I am attempting to use the wordpress cli tool to update my wordpress url. I navigate to my root wordpress directory, and then type the command wp option update siteurl 'http://mysite.com'. This returns

    [] : Unable to write inside the cache files folder; please check file/folder permissions
    [] : Unable to write inside the cache configuration folder; please check file/folder permissions

    I tried sudo chmod 755 /var/www/mysite.com/wp-content/cache on my wordpress cache folder, but still encounter this error when running the first command. I also do not know where to find the cache configuration folder noted in the second error output. Could anyone please help me figure out the proper permissions for these folders and possibly the rest of my wordpress directory?

    Thanks!

    Check the ownership of the files, too. Is the user under which wp-cli is run able to write to that directory as well has having write access to any existing files?
