Hi Jitendra,

Have you tried dumping your %ENV settings with a .cgi script to be 
sure CacheDirectoryStore is picked up?
The reason I ask is because of this bit of code in Apache2::AMF51DegreesFilter:
  if ($ENV{CacheDirectoryStore}) { 
	$cachedirectorystore=$ENV{CacheDirectoryStore}; 
	$CommonLib->printLog("CacheDirectoryStore is: $cachedirectorystore");   } else 
{ 	  $CommonLib->printLog("CacheDirectoryStore not exist.	Please set the 
variable CacheDirectoryStore into httpd.conf, (the directory must be 
writeable)"); 	  ModPerl::Util::exit();         }    


I believe that's the code logging your error and exiting. Given that, 
double-check that CacheDirectoryStore is actually being set in your %ENV.
In the past, I've found dumping %ENV to be an easy way to check. A quick search 
will deliver a .cgi that can do that for you.

Also, due to the way the error is logged, I'm not convinced you actually have a 
write-ability issue on the directory. 
It looks like "must be writeable" is a thrown-in comment as there doesn't seem 
to be an actual check if the dir is writable or not. That's unfortunate if so, 
but perhaps I'm misreading the error above...

Double-check your location in httpd.conf that you set CacheDirectoryStore and 
dump out %ENV to be sure it's there.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Jayson
