PlanetPlanet setup problems

Hi. I'm trying to setup PlanetPlanet for a LiveJournal Friends-like aggregator (for now I'm testing it), and I'm coming across some problems with, it appears, cache-writing for each site's feed. This is how it comes out for me, each time:

I've created a 'cache' directory with write permissions for everyone (777), but it does the same thing. Anyone have an idea why this is going on?

It all seems to be failing because it can't write the files in the first place and then it's trying to access them. Have you given write permissions for the folders leading up to the cache dir as well?? I'm not sure if you have to put write access on all the folders above cache...

It appears that when I move into the planet directory (with planet.py), it will write out the templates, but the cache problem remains. Tried to put write permissions for everyone in the dir's above the cache directory and on 'cache' itself. Appears it still stubbornly refuses to write.

Would it have anything to do with "suexec" (referred to from here: https://panel.dreamhost.com/kbase/index.cgi?area=144&keyword=cgi), where, it seems, you have to set a folder's permissions to 755, write permissions only by the owner, for the program to work? While it's a python app, I'm working from SSH instead of through a browser and am not sure if "suexec" applies there.

Thanks for the help.
