Unable to delete anything in cache folder

Post by Maroon Caludin »

I'm not sure if anyone else has had this issue or just me.

But anyway, I updated to the latest version. And since that I can't delete any of the files in the cache folder. I get this error:
Message From Server:

Could not delete FILENAME: Permission denied.
I've tried it from FTP and CPanel, but I can't delete anything.

I made a test folder to test if it would do the same thing when I uploaded that folder, and still the same.

I've tried contacting my host (since I thought maybe its a permission thing). So far they said the file is mine so I should be able to. Waiting to hear more yet.

I can still clear it in the admin panel at least.

And my thought is still that its a permission thing...but I'm not sure. Any ideas?

Whenever I have seen that it has been an file/folder ownership issue - your ftp account is that of a different owner to the that used to create the files and is most likely a server setting.

I had figured it was some form of server setting. Sadly my host didn't have any suggestions or anything. But I do at least seem able to clear cache from the admin panel. I also can't change the permissions to what they should be.
