Magento has switched the cache directory to /tmp on the server for 1 of the sites on a Magento multisite installation. How do we get this to go back to the normal cache folder in the Magento folder.

If this is multiple instances of Magento being installed on a single server, the usual reason for this happening is that the var/ directory has become non-writable to the web server process due to a change in permissions or ownership.

You will need to figure out what has changed either in web server/cPanel/WHM/suPHP configuration or if a backup or restore process has messed with file/directory permissions/ownership.

  • Its actually only one instance of Magento running two websites, one of which is storing files in the tmp and the other in the default place. – Joe Moe Jan 14 '15 at 14:04
