Capifony + Symfony2 Failed to write cache file

Question

When deploying my dev environment to my external dev server using capistrano I always get the following error: ``` RuntimeException: Failed to write cache file "/var/www/xyz.co.uk/app/cache/dev/classes.php". ``` Then I have to log into my development server and delete my app/cache/dev/ directory. Here is my development.rb file: ``` server 'x.xx.xx.xxx', :app, :web, :db, :primary => true ssh_options[:port] = 1234 ssh_options[:forward_agent] = true set :deploy_to, "/var/www/xyz.co.uk" set :symfony_env_prod, "dev" set :branch, "develop" # Need to clear *_dev controllers set :clear_controllers, false ``` And my deploy.rb file: ``` set :stage_dir, 'app/config/deploy' # needed for Symfony2 only set :stages, %w(production staging development) require 'capistrano/ext/multistage' set :application, "xyz.co.uk" set :user, "root" # The server's user for deploys set :normalize_asset_timestamps, false set :repository, "git@github.com:xyz/xyz.co.uk.git" set :scm, :git set :keep_releases, 3 set :use_…

Accepted Answer

I have this in my `deploy.rb` file to set the permissions on the cache directory:

```
after "deploy:update_code" do
  capifony_pretty_print "--> Ensuring cache directory permissions"
  run "setfacl -R -m u:www-data:rwX -m u:`whoami`:rwX #{latest_release}/#{cache_path}"
  run "setfacl -dR -m u:www-data:rwX -m u:`whoami`:rwX #{latest_release}/#{cache_path}"
  capifony_puts_ok
end
```
