Cache write failure – "is not writable" error, even though it was working before (Laravel on shared hosting)

[fidelity2851]

Hi! I'm running into an issue where the package suddenly stopped working. It was working perfectly fine before — successfully caching data and functioning normally — but without any code changes, it suddenly began throwing an error related to writing to the cache directory.

💥 Error Details:

Filebase\Filesystem\FilesystemException
"/home/shahed4u/public_html/vendor/hmerritt/imdb-api/src/cache/films/ is not writable."

Laravel v10.x

PHP 8.1 (shared hosting / cPanel environment)

Folder permissions: 755

Files owned by hosting account (confirmed)

No changes were made to the code or server setup

before this started happening
