Why not just have a configuration directive which would allow the user to specify where these cache file reside? That way each setup could intelligently set the value to match their environment. You could then report an error during startup if the directory cannot be accessed. > How does Apache write to the access and error logs?

Regards, Chris Kukuchka Sequoia Group, Inc. P.S. While you are creating configuration directives for where to place the cache files, you might also want to provide some means to reign in the disk usage for the cache--a max size perhaps.
