Description

What's wrong?

The /var/www/portfolio/wp-content/cache/acorn/framework/cache directory must be present and writable. - when installing Acron with Sage 10, no such directories were created.

What have you tried?

I've tried uninstalling acorn, reinstalling etc. Manually creating the directories myself and setting the correct permissions as well as looking through past issues, none of the fixes have worked

What insights have you gained?

I get no errors when installing. The permissions are correct for the theme and the project as a whole.

Possible solutions

Not sure

Temporary workarounds

None

Steps To Reproduce

1. install Sage 10 in the themes folder and create a theme
2. Install Acorn
3. Build project, attempt to set new theme as the main site theme

Expected Behavior

I would expect the install to have created any files/ directories it needs when installing. If there is an issue to report the issue in the command line.

Actual Behavior

No errors reported, receiving the error The /var/www/portfolio/wp-content/cache/acorn/framework/cache directory must be present and writable.

FWIW, that error message isn't lying to you or anything — the directory either isn't present or isn't writeable
