Cache Owner and Clearing

[Brent W Peterson]

We are having a problem with our cache and I have setup a script to clear the cache every 4 hours (in Magento) the problem is that even 4 hours is to long so I have the script running every hour.

Cache writes as user www, and the folders are 777 but the cache files are 700?

I had a script that re-wrote permissions and ownership every 5 minutes, but I am thinking this is the wrong approach.

Can anyone tell me what the correct ownership and permission level should be on files written by Litespeed?

please try: set the root directory of cache to 700

Thanks, I will try that, can you tell me what it would matter if it is 777 or 700?

with 777, everyone can create/modify/remove files in that directory. with 700, only the owner of the directory can create/modify/remove files.
