Message: cache_dir must be a directory

Hello people I have some problems with Zend Framework.
I first got the following message: Message:
Could not determine temp directory, please specify a cache_dir manually.
I searched google and found this post: Zend Framework : Could not determine temp directory, please specify a cache_dir manually
I read it and now when I fill in the form I get the following error:
(Everywhere where I put .. in the error means the domain.)

Answer

cache_dir must be a directory :

This problem came generally when you move your code to another host or server . There are mainly two solution for this problem

1 – Make sure your cache directory is writable or you can make writable to var folder of magento

but sometimes this situation does not work so here is the alternate solution. Go to this location lib/Zend/Cache/Backend/ and open file.php file you’ll see the code something like this

protected $_options = array(
        'cache_dir' => null,
        'file_locking' => true,
        'read_control' => true,
        'read_control_type' => 'crc32',
        'hashed_directory_level' => 0,
        'hashed_directory_umask' => 0700,
        'file_name_prefix' => 'zend_cache',
        'cache_file_umask' => 0600,
        'metadatas_array_max_size' => 100
    );

change this code as below

protected $_options = array(
        'cache_dir' => '/var/www/html/webkul/magento/tmp',
        'file_locking' => true,
        'read_control' => true,
        'read_control_type' => 'crc32',
        'hashed_directory_level' => 0,
        'hashed_directory_umask' => 0700,
        'file_name_prefix' => 'zend_cache',
        'cache_file_umask' => 0600,
        'metadatas_array_max_size' => 100
    );

assign path of cache_dir as per your configuration .
