Magento

Just upgraded to V1.5.0.1 from 1.4.0.1 and everything works appart from the cron.php it send the followe=ing email:

PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught exception ‘Mage_Core_Exception’ with message ‘ is not a directory or not readable by this user’ in /var/www/vhosts/nosiweb.com/httpdocs/shop/app/Mage.php:550
Stack trace:

#3 {main}
thrown in /var/www/vhosts/nosiweb.com/httpdocs/shop/app/Mage.php on line 550

I’ve tried re-copying all the files using connect. Also manually re uploading all the files, cleared all the cache and no difference just the same email.

Tried a fresh installation of V1.5.0.1 and that works fine but cannot spot what’s wrong with the main installation.

Can anybody help it would be much appreciated? I’ve been at this for a few days and run out of ideas to try.

The same issue is described here: http://forum.aheadworks.com/viewtopic.php?f=145&t;=455

Try to chmod 777 the files and chown apache:apache the folders.

Hello,

Continuing off the above, we generally recommend 755 for folders, 644, for files, and in some cases, recursively setting the var folder to 777 may help.

I am facing a similar issue.Do anyone have solution.I am a newbie.Thanks.
