CI, SimplePie and server write permissions! - El Forum - 04-27-2012

Hey everyone. Im trying to get Simplepie to cache results but I keep getting the dreaded "cache folder is unwritable" error.
Setup: Codeigniter 2.1.0 / PHP 5.2.x / Simplepie 1.2.1
I tried using the default ./cache directory listed in Simplepie and also my own cache folder outside of /application and /system. I am certain permissions are set at 777 right now.
I ran this little test:
Code:
function index()
{
$this->load->helper('file');
$data = 'Some file data';
if ( ! write_file(base_url() . 'cache_files/testest.php', $data))
{
echo 'Unable to write the file';
}
else
{
echo 'File written!';
}It came back with unable to write the file. Is there something weird I need to know about CI writing to folders? Its pissing me off because everything works fine without cache but I need it! Any help is appreciated!

Use absolute paths, not HTTP paths when writing folders and files.

Yeah I think that was it. Used APPPATH instead and there is no more error. Thanks!
