Twig is unable create cache directory

Question

This is the error

RuntimeException: Unable to create the cache directory (1/25/20).

1- Changing the cache directory in the appKernel file didn't fix the problem

/*
        public function getCacheDir()
        {
            return '/mnt/symfony_ram_cache/cache/'.$this->environment;
        }
*/

2- Setting the permissions to "chmod 777 -R cache" didn't work, still throws the error

3- App works when I deactivate the twig cache (I obviously need it in production)

#Twig Configuration
twig:
   cache: false

4- It DOES create several folders in cache (in both prod and dev) when I empty the cache directoy and reload, so what means the rights are actually set properly

5- Here is a screenshot of the error

6- PS: Updated to symfony 2.5.6 the twig bundle was updated but still have no luck

Don't clear cache directory itself, To clear cache just remove directories/files inside that. — Apul Gupta
@ApulGupta That's what I meant by clearing it, I'll edit the post to avoid further confusion — user3531149

Maybe you should chown cache directory to user who fires up application (www-data?)?
