Caching doesn't seem to be working, whats wrong?

Is is a very frequent question. A number of things could be wrong, the most common is that the your web server does not have permission to write to your working directory. In this case you'll want to manually create the cache directory and make it web writeable. How to do this varies from platform to platform, and host to host, but the basic idea is:

mkdir /var/www/mysite/cache;
chown _web-user_:_web-group_ /var/www/mysite/cache;

It must be chmod 777 because php runs as the webserver user and not the real user that it should be executed as. This has been brought up on these forums before and the only solution is to use something like suPHP which will have php run as the correct user.
