I had a working site on Sitevalley's shared hosting environment but it was slow. So I had them migrate the site to a virtual server for me. I expected that the entire SS site wold be migrated.

Alas when I run the site now I get this error

Warning: fopen(/home/liveinsp/domains/liveinspiredjourney.org/public_html/silverstripe-cache/manifest-main) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/liveinsp/domains/liveinspiredjourney.org/public_html/sapphire/core/ManifestBuilder.php on line 112

Fatal error: Cannot write manifest file! Check permissions of /home/liveinsp/domains/liveinspiredjourney.org/public_html/silverstripe-cache/manifest-main in /home/liveinsp/domains/liveinspiredjourney.org/public_html/sapphire/core/ManifestBuilder.php on line 116

I have looked at the manifest-main file and its permission is 755. I am no Linux person but that seems reasonable.

What else should I be looking at? At the moment the site is dead in the water.

Thanks a lot for any help

There is already a silver-stripe cache directory as you can see from the error message. Have the paths changed or something as part of the migration? Currently the paths look like

../domains/liveinspiredjourney.org/public_html with the following directories under that

sapphire
silverstripe-cache (with tons of files under it including the manifest-main that is giving the permission error)

and a whole bunch of other directories

Is there some other place I should put the cache folder?

I think a better way would be to delete the silverstripe-cache directory, re-create it as a normal user and then make the web server user the owner. This way you don't have to do any chmod of files, and it's probably more secure.

Not sure what your web server user is, but common examples are www-data, http and _www. You can probably find it out by using top and checking the http processes to see the user they're running as. You could probably check the phpinfo() output and seeing who the user is from there.
