Cache Folder Not Writeable

[spd2612]

Your cache directory is not writable! Make sure cache folder in template root is writable
is at the top of my new template

I have verified that IIS IUSER and the App Pool has read write and execute in permissions
Also the files are upateing in the cache directory
but it is still displaying
Your cache directory is not writable! Make sure cache folder in template root is writable is at the top of my new template

at the top of the indexDesktop.php page only

This should mean that the php interpreter has no write access to the directory.
You can test this calling the page ( modify domain and password as appropriate ):

Code: Select all

http://www.meteotemplate.com/template/api.php?U=1486255070&T=25.3&H=79.9&P=1010.1&W=5.6&G=7.8&R=0&RR=0&B=272&S=788&PASS=password123

this should generate a cache/apiLog.txt file
or you can run the setup of a block checking if the settings.php file is generated

[spd2612]

I run that command and it returns SUCCESS

Check if the cache/apiLog.txt was generated ( it should contain the data you passed )

[spd2612]

yest its there

Authorized access.
Current date/time: 2021-10-15 08:23:42
api called by http
update U: 1634300622

my site does run in https
there are no url redirect except on the index desktop php

[davidefa]

So your cache directory is writable ( and the warning is erroneous ).
To get rid of this warning you could safely remove from the indexDesktop.php, starting at line 375 these 4 lines:

Code: Select all

				if($_SESSION['user']=="admin"){
					if(!is_writable("cache")){
						echo "Your cache directory is not writable! Make sure cache folder in template root is writable";
					}
				}

Only wondering that ( even if you remove the warning ) you may still have problems ( don't know where, maybe in your web server, I never used IIS ).
Only suggestion is to try one of those all-in-one servers ( Xampp or the like, with php <= 7.4 ).
If you choose the portable one you can try and delete if you don't like, it should not mess with your computer.
( I use it on a local installation for testing and it is ok )

[spd2612]

I did not have that message on my old install and it was iis 10 to

I think https might be the issue
Once you bind to it most browsers dont like mixed content

[davidefa]

Yes the drawback of running a 'https' site is that you have to stick to 'https' content ( to avoid mixed content error )

P.S.
A few days ago helped an italian user whit his new meteotemplate installation ( on https server ), he has the new ecowitt ws1900 weather station.
The only way to make the ecowitt station to upload to the server was to disable the automatic redirect to https ( on the .htaccess file ), certainly there are other ways but I couldn't find one.

[spd2612]

That is correct if i use redirect for the whole site my uploads from ecowitt stop
I just add a redirect script to indexdesktop.php and in main setup i set it to https and then it all works as designed

[davidefa]

Thanks, what is the line to add for the indexDesktop redirect?

[spd2612]

if(empty($_SERVER['HTTPS']) || $_SERVER['HTTPS'] == "off"){
$redirect = 'https://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
header('Location: ' . $redirect);
exit();
}

Also just checked my php error log and here is what is happening Any Ideas ??

[davidefa]

Not super important wornings ( are generated because the code tries to access an undefined variable ), but the code works correctly.
The only errors are those on line 198 and 201 ( you will not get any warnings if you selected imperial units and set minimum or maximum pressure greater than 50inHg ), not super critical too.

[spd2612]

Ok here is what I noticed on the Cache Folder
I do not get the error at the top of the page if I clear my Cache on my web browser
Until I enter into Admin and then come back to the page then the error is back till I clear cache again

Any ideas what to do here

[spd2612]

See above post! but I did this for now in the in the indexDesktop.php.
Everything in the CACHE folder is updating so It cant be a write issue.

// COMMENTED OUT TO REMOVE THE CACHE ERROR
// if($_SESSION['user']=="admin"){
// if(!is_writable("cache")){
// echo "Your cache directory is not writable! Make sure cache folder in template root is writable";
// }
// }
