[OSGeoLive] MapCache Permissions

[Seth G]

Thanks both. 

I tested with /var/cache/mapcache and it works directly without any need to create folders/update permissions, which will simplify the install script a little. I'll make a new pull request with this path. 

Bas - where is the best place to find these details? Are there docs, or is it best to look at the packaging scripts?
I found where it is set at https://salsa.debian.org/debian-gis-team/mapcache/blob/master/debian/libapache2-mod-mapcache.postinst

Just to note the main MapCache doc uses /tmp for the cache. I tried this originally but no other user can then access the tiles (which can be very useful for resuing and checking caches). Apparently it:
