It's hard to know why this is happening without seeing your server. This command happens right after PHP creates a file, and it only occurs if PHP has write permissions in the directory. At that time, PHP should have permissions to set the file permissions as well, because it is the file owner. Thus, this error appears to be a logical fallacy.

The only way I can see this occurring is if you have manually changed the ownership of files in /vault/resorces/css/cache. This may have occurred without your direct intent if you changed ownership of files of a higher directory like / and asked the change to apply recursively to files and not to directories. There's nothing VaultWiki can do if this has happened. Once the file ownership is not the same as the PHP user, then you will have to delete the file manually, because VaultWiki will not have permission to make any more updates to these files. If this is the case, then it is not a bug in VaultWiki, and arguably you should still receive this error message to alert you that VaultWiki can no longer write to its CSS cache.

If you would like us to debug this issue further, then you must fill out a Ticket Support service so we can see exactly what has happened to the file permissions to cause this condition: https://www.vaultwiki.org/members/?d...e&productid=20

I looked at the server directory, emptied it, and compared what happens when it's empty. The new cache files were created with a different user than what was there before. So as I suspected, someone had accidentally changed the ownership of the cache files to a different user, OR you recently moved to a new server, and you copied the cache files from the old server. If you have an automated script that changes file owners, then you should update it so that it does not touch this directory. If this happens again, then you must manually delete the contents of the directory (not the directory itself!) -- the cache may not have permission to do it itself.

This error is not a bug, and it is good that you see it in the logs because it alerts you that the file permissions of the directory were changed after the cache was already made.

You should not have to do anything right now. I have already emptied the cache and it has started regenerating with the correct permissions.
