How can I get EZ to create the cache file with the correct owner

Monday 27 January 2003 5:06:24 am

All the cache files are created with the owner and group. I am running ez3 of a virtual host and instead of the files being created with my owner and group they are created with 'nobody' and 'nogroup' making them impossible to delete.

Is there are a place in the code that I can add the correct owner and group so than I can empty the cache when necessary.

Also how do I switch off caching while I am developing the site?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for you help on this. I changed the default mod settings as a temporary soution while I'm developing the site.

It works for now, which is good enough.
