Dispatcher not caching any file

[Riju-Mahna]

My website is not caching any file in the dispatcher, even though all permissions seem to be OK.

I cleared the bare docroot folder: /opt/aem/dispatcher/docroot/ to be on the safe side, but no affect.

The dispatcher and Error logs look like below. Not sure why the 'permission denied' error is there in disp logs. The 'docroot' folder is owned by 'apache' user with 0755 access.

We have a Dispatcher session tomorrow - i recommend that you attend this session and ask this question to the presenters -- Scott's Digital Community: Ask the AEM Community Experts for July 2017

It sounds like a config mistake somewhere.

Please check within httpd.conf the user which apache is running (default is 'apache').  

Then you should restart apache service to take you change.

In addition, you can run this command to ensure everything goes correctly: sudo chown -R "nameOfUser" (It's a good practices(security) CHANGE all default user/pass)
