VQmod on new VPS not writing vqcache files or log files

Question

I am just moving an opencart site to a staging server and have vqmod installed in the site however I can't get vqmod to create the vqcache files and it isn't even logging any errors in the vqmod/log folder. I've basically set the directory structure to 777 to get it to work from a permissions point of view and everything is ownership user:www-data but still no joy.

Answer 1

Just in case anyone has a similar issue, it was a user groups issue, the ownership settings for the vqmod.php file were user:user rather than the required user:www-data

Answer 2

You should actually set the permissions for your vqmod.php to be the same as your index.phpin your main OpenCart folder, not alter the owner of the file. You should also set the permissions of the following be the same as your /system/cache/ folder

/vqmod/
/vqmod/vqcache/
/vqmod/logs/
