Pawtucket Issue with HTML Purifier

gjerdery

I updated my Providence and Pawtucket installs today to the 2.0.11 versions (from 2.0.9 I believe). Providence is working fine, but when I try to visit my Pawtucket home page, I receive a new error:

It looks like the directory for HTML filtering caches is not writable by the webserver. Please change the permissions of /purifier and enable the user which runs the webserver to write to this directory.

I've checked write permissions in tmp, log and vendor as instructed by the Installation guide, but no luck yet. Am I looking in the wrong spot?

I'm not sure why this behavior changed with this update, however I found that by manually setting my CA_BASE_DIR variable in setup.php, I was able to resolve the issue.

The application should be able to determine the __CA_BASE_DIR__ automatically. Are you using symlinks in your installation?

Yeah, it has always worked fine in the past. Curious that Providence (in a subdirectory in relation to Pawtucket) has no issues defining CA_BASE_DIR, but Pawtucket did have this issue. The only symlink in the Pawtucket setup is the one pointing to the Providence media dir.

I will make a note to do more troubleshooting soon.

Is this the hosted system you have? Or are you running it on your own machine?
