Created attachment 14753 [details] mmcache.log
I emailed the devlist as well, but it's the mkdir /var/cache/mmcache, and then the two ownership/permissions lines which are causing problems as they're attempting to write outside of the sandbox (more concretely, the image, which has it's root at ${D}).
Created attachment 14768 [details, diff] patch to the turck-mmcache ebuild
I've committed Mike's patch. Please resync and give it a go. Look for v1.4 of the ebuild file - that's the one with Mike's patch in it. Stu
It works just fine now. So this bug can be closed now. Incidentally, where can I get a bulky php example that would allow me to test the differences in speed between cached and non-cached php? At the moment, I can't really tell whether it has made any difference.
I think the best way to test the benefits of caching is to simulate load on the server. Take a look at turck-mmcache.sourceforge.net. They posted some benchmarks; maybe they have a link (or at least information) about how they tested the performance. Stu
