Topic: Disabling cache writing in PunBB?

I'd like to know if there is a way to use PunBB without having to have the /cache directory writeable.   My installation of PunBB was hacked yesterday because the /cache directory was writable and they were able to change my cache_quickjump_#.php files (and upload a new file) and I'd rather not take the chance of leaving any directories or PHP files writable.

Re: Disabling cache writing in PunBB?

You cannot simply be hacked because a file in writeable, fix whatever part of your site they exploited and you won't have any problems.
