cakephp: warning 512 /tmp/cache/ not writable on shared host justhost

When I go to www.merryflowers.com/webroot/ i'm getting the following warnings. Based on the guidance i got from my previous post (cakephp: configuring cakephp on shared host justhost), I right clicked on the app/tmp/ (on the remote server) and all the folders within that and set the permission to be writable (ie. 777). But I'm still getting the same warnings.

Since i'm using windows 7 (chmod doesn't work), I also tried CACLS on the command prompt for tmp folder. Since i'm not familiar with CACLS, i don't know the exact command to make tmp writable to all. Can someone please help me out. Thank you.

 Warning (512): /home/aquinto1/public_html/merryflowers.com/tmp/cache/ is not writable [CORE/cake/libs/cache/file.php, line 278].php, line 429
Warning (512): /models/ is not writable [CORE/cake/libs/cache/file.php, line 278]
Warning (512): /persistent/ is not writable [CORE/cake/libs/cache/file.php, line 278]

Is your site hosted locally on your Windows machine, like through XAMPP or WAMP, etc? Those are *nix paths, not Windows paths.

Did you FTP to your sites - like, with an FTP client - and change the permissions? Doing this through FTP clients isn't always 100% reliable. It looks like you changed the perms on /tmp, but they didn't cascade to /tmp/cache, etc. like you thought. Try setting them all one by one.

According to your other post - cakephp: configuring cakephp on shared host justhost - your site is set up with remote hosting. I looked at their service briefly, from the looks of them, you can probably remote (aka, "shell" or "ssh") into your server and get access to the command line. A lot of webhosts provide this these days, although you may have to specifically request they enable it for you.

On a Windows machine, you can use PuTTY to shell into your remote server: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/

HTH. :)
