Python egg cache

[yuri16]

Hi,

I'm having these error regarding python-eggs:

The Python egg cache directory is currently set to:

/var/www/.python-eggs

Perhaps your account does not have write access to this directory? You can
change the cache directory by setting the PYTHON_EGG_CACHE environment
variable to point to an accessible directory.

I already 'export PYTHON_EGG_CACHE=/var/cache/python-eggs' and then checked its value and I got these '/var/cache/python-eggs'

Any ideas? Can you please help me.
Thanks.

Try changing ownership to the webserver user and give the user write permission.
Eg. If its apache2, you can
chown www-data /var/www/.python-eggs
&
chmod u+w /var/www/.python-eggs

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the reply.
So I should change the path of the PYTHON_EGG_CACHE to /var/www/.python-eggs? and remove the python-eggs directory from /var/cache?

Here's what will I do: (pls correct me if I'm wrong)

$chown www-data /var/www/.python-eggs
$chmod u+w /var/www/.python-eggs
$export PYTHON_EGG_CACHE=/var/www/.python-eggs


Thanks.
