fatal: cannot create directory at /root/wp-content/cache/page_enhanced/ No such a file or directory

I had a similar problem. I found that I had to close Visual Studio because it was holding onto the directory.

I recommend that you close all the programs you can if you run into this problem. If your issue is the same as mine you will be able to able to execute your git commands when the program holding on to the reference is shutdown. If you do it systematically then you should find the offender as well.


Could be several things depending on the OS of the machine you are running and version of git. With more detail I could be more specific.

On Windows,it's either the permissions of the directories, or it's the length of the directories/paths. On Linux, it would be the permissions. I've also seen cases where the problem is non-allowed characters in directories or files.

Your best bet to remove the directory is to clone it somewhere that works, like a linux box running root (or a vm or run cygwin), and add this to the .gitignore file: /wp-content/cache/.

Then, to remove the already cached info, type: git rm -rf –-cached wp-content/cache and then commit and push.
