As the error message says "[User Error] Uncaught Zend_Cache_Exception: cache_dir is not writable".

You will need to ensure your cache directory is writable. If you're on a shared host you may be prevented from writing to the default tmp location so SS will swap to a 'silverstripe-cache' folder if one exists in the root of your site. Try creating that 'silverstripe-cache' folder and ensure it has read/write perms.

Thanks for replying

I already had a `siverstripe-cache` folder and it was being written to,

The server engineer found the problem, a constant redirect loop caused by a conflict between .htaccess and fastcgi
He altered the .htaccess and I reinstalled fastcgi and everything works.
