Verify that there are enough rights into lizmap/var/cache/ to be modified by the user who runs PHP (most of time, www-data on linux).

The class inside file.cache.php is called each time Lizmap want to store some cache into files. Without a stack trace, I cannot know if there is a bug somewhere.

it seems the cache directory is missing from a fresh installation...
i just created it now and the warning is gone

[josemvm]

i can confirm from another installation, the folder is not created at the moment of lizmap installation

I also got the issue, I was trying a quick fix to raise a better warning with the folder name for instance :

the folder is not created

Which folder? I said a wrong thing in my last comment: lizmap/var/cache/ is not used by Lizmap. By default it is temp/lizmap/www/cache. It the missing folder is lizmap/var/cache/ , so it is because you indicated it yourself into the var/config/profiles.ini.php (cache_dir of the jcache:myapp section?). If you indicated it yourself, you must then create the directory and set rights on it. The cache plugin try to create it, but most of time, the PHP process has no rights on the var/ directory.

[josemvm]

@laurentj this warning persists on version 3.5.6
my cache_dir parameter is cache_dir=
