Magento Caching problem

[Brent W Peterson]

I have been clearing our cache once a day (9am) and it seems to have solved our caching performance problems. However, this morning the cache was cleared at 9am and by 11am the site was crawling again?

cache permissions?

I removed cache and you can see that it is getting written by both root and nobody?

Do you have cronjob for magento running as root?

[Brent W Peterson]

I tried the cron as root, nobody and the user and they all wrote the same way

 

[webizen]

not sure why. can you remove those owned by root and see if they can be re-created by root. btw, what are the files under these dirs owned by root?

 

[Brent W Peterson]

The files are all cache files in the folders

 

[webizen]

i knew. just wanted to find out whether these files are owned by root and what cache files they are. do something like the following:

ls -l mage--3/*
