Why the app does not use the cached page

Rails
1

I am working on a rails project based on rails 1.2.3
I write the routes.rb like this

map.connect ‘’, :controller => “welcome”, :action => ‘index’

and I also set the caches_page for welcome/index

The cache page works well on my macbook. when the first visit the app
creates the index.html in the public directory and use the cached
index.html when the next visits come.

But when I deploy the app to my hostmonster’s host the app does not use
the cached page, it creates new index.html instead.

I don’t know what’s the differents between my computer and the host. Why
the app does not use cached page.

By the way I also set the other caches_page they work well both on my
computer and the host.

Any idea?
Thanks.

just guessing but the user that the web server runs as doesn’t have
write permissions in ‘public’ to create the folder/file in order to
cache it.

so I don’t think it’s the permission problem.

if it’s a ‘cached page’, you should be able to move it somewhere else
and it would be automatically recreated.
