In: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/topics/cache/#filesystem-caching
It says that {{{LOCATION}}} needs to exist. But the code creates it if it
doesn't exist:
https://github.com/django/django/blob/354c1524b38c9b9f052c1d78dcbfa6ed5559aeb3/django/core/cache/backends/filebased.py#L116
called from
https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/core/cache/backends/filebased.py#L23
Current documentation:
{{{Make sure the directory pointed-to by this setting exists and is
readable and writable by the system user under which your Web server runs.
Continuing the above example, if your server runs as the user apache, make
sure the directory /var/tmp/django_cache exists and is readable and
writable by the user apache.}}}
PR coming soon.
