Technote Details :: I cannot use MX RSS because of folder permissions
Issue
When trying to access a page that has MX RSS behaviors on it, I get the following message:
MX_RssReader Error
Error while creating the temporary cache folder: '/home'. Please set appropriate permissions. This happens even after setting 777 permissions for the folder.
Reason
This happens because the cache folder could not be created in the includes/MXRSS folder. This can occur because:
- The permissions for the MXRSS folder are too restrictive.
- The user running the web server does not have permissions to create folders, even if enough permissions are set on the includes/MXRSS folder.
Solution
To use MX RSS, simply manually create the cache folder inside includes/MXRSS. This will fix the problem, and the extension will work just fine.
