Instagram-php-scraper: CHMOD 777 - Which directory?

[Tvvinman]

Please, explain, I don't know, which directory I should edit to:

Fatal error: Uncaught phpFastCacheExceptionsphpFastCacheDriverException: PLEASE CREATE OR CHMOD /cache/testsite.ru/Files - 0777 OR ANY WRITABLE PERMISSION!

Very strange path! :((

I've found out that there is phpfastcache module error. There must be full path with variable in examples like that:

$instagram = InstagramScraperInstagram::withCredentials('login, 'password', dirname(__FILE__).'/cache');

Can confirm that this was indeed the issue. Had the same and solved the same way.

I'm still suffering the issue.
$instagram = \InstagramScraper\Instagram::withCredentials('login, 'password', dirname(FILE).'/cache'); doesn't work for me. Any progress on it? @raiym

Hi! This is not a bug! To solve this problem, you need to give 777 to the 'cache' folder. This folder will be created automatically by the script. Parameter 3 in method withCredentials() is responsible for the location in which "cache" directory will be created, feel free to change it. To change permissions try something like

sudo chmod -R 777 cache

Another way is to add the user "www-data" to the group in order not to give full access to the folder.

Hi!
Try to use one of magic constants: __DIR__ or dirname(__FILE__):

$instagram = \InstagramScraper\Instagram::withCredentials('login, 'password', __DIR__ .'/cache');
