are you sure your php can create /tmp/xcache/cache? try to disable xcache and make a php script <?php touch("/tmp/xcache/cache") ?> and see if it creates the file

try strace if u can run external-spawned php

$ strace -s200 php -b 1026

and configure lighttpd to connect it for php-fcgi instead of spawning itself

Replying to moo:

The xcache directory and (xcache/)cache file both belong to the lighttpd user which is used by the lighttpd. I initially touched the "cache" file and chown'ed it. When I tail/less it now, it contains some "mambo jambo". So it looks like it's used indeed.

I created the following script (because I did not want to mess with the cache on runtime):

<?php
if (is_writable('/tmp/xcache/cache'))
{
    die('hooray!');
}
die('no. :-(');
?>

Run it through the browser and its reply is "hooray!".

try strace if u can run external-spawned php

I've never tried the part where it uses the external handler to manage processes, but I will try this tomorrow.

no feedback, closing. i need a strace output
