yappa-ng Extended Setup Information

Cache Directory

Define the directory where all cached images are stored.

Only needed if you enabled the resize cache in the Option above!

This is the directory where all resized photos will get stored for faster access. The OWNER of the Webserver (user and/or group) must have read/write permission in this directory.
Note: This directory must not be accessible for your Webserver!!
It is recommended that you give this in your /tmp directory outside of your webserver.


Some Details about the cache structure:
Within this Cache Directory yappa-ng will first build a subdirectory called "yappa-ng". This will be the main cache for the photo gallery. Within this directory yappa-ng will build many subdirectories. Each of the albums has an own subdirectory and within this album-subdirectory every resize size gets its own directory. If you delete an image with the help of the Admin-Interface all cached childs of this image will get deleted too. If you delete an Photo Album with the help of the Admin-Interface the complete cache of this album including all subdirectories get deleted too! If you delete an image or an album manually (command line or FTP) be sure to delete the cache of this image or album manually too!!


Important Hint:
If you are not the owner of the Server you may want your Cache Directory to be within the yappa-ng Source Directory! If you are using password protected albums be sure to secure this directory if its within the Server Root! Read more in the FAQ (Part: Security)!


--> Recommended setting for yappa-ng is: /tmp
