Cache
In computer science, a cache is a collection of data duplicating original values stored elsewhere or computed earlier, where the original data is expensive(usually in terms of access time) to fetch or compute relative to reading the cache. Once the data is stored in the cache, future use can be made by accessing the cached copy rather than re-fetching or recomputing the original data, so that the average access time is lower.(wikipedia) Cahing is important on your site so your site ill work faster for users. But it can trip you up. Lets say you have a chache on your artcicles of 2 hours. You post an article and think you have lost it..but you haven't. You will need to wait for the chache to refresh - so when adding content to your site be sure to turn of chaching to see changes immediately.
Cache lifetime
This refers to the amount of time you give to caching of the sections of your sebsite. You can set different levels for different modules.
Case

Category
Information in specific module can be organised into categories. This will depend on the purpose of your web site. It is worth spending some time planning you categories - especially the parent ones.
CHMOD
CHMOD stands for (Change mode) The Unix command and system call to change the access permissions of a named file. Each file (directory, device, etc.) has nine kinds of access which can be allowed or denied. Different permissions apply to the owner of the file, the members of the group the file belongs to, and world users. Each of these classes of user (owner, group and other) can have permission to read, write or execute the file. Here is an explanation for you: Numeric mode: From one to four octal digits Any omitted digits are assumed to be leading zeros. The first digit = selects attributes for the set user ID (4) and set group ID (2) and save text image (1)S The second digit = permissions for the user who owns the file: read (4), write (2), and execute (1) The third digit = permissions for other users in the files group: read (4), write (2), and execute (1) The fourth digit = permissions for other users NOT in the files group: read (4), write (2), and execute (1) The octal (0-7) value is calculated by adding up the values for each digit User (rwx) = 4+2+1 = 7 Group(rx) = 4+1 = 5 World (rx) = 4+1 = 5 chmode mode = 0755 Examples Allow read permission to everyone: chmod 444 file Make a file readable and writable by the group and others: chmod 066 file Allow everyone to read, write, and execute the file: chmod 777 file

cookies
===HTTP cookies===, sometimes known as web cookies or just cookies, are parcels of text sent by a server to a web browser and then sent back unchanged by the browser each time it accesses that server. HTTPcookies are used for authenticating, tracking, and maintaining specific information about users, such as site preferences and the contents of their electronic shopping carts. The term "cookie" is derived from "magic cookie," a well-known concept in Unix computing which inspired both the idea and the name of HTTP cookies. (Wikipedia) Xoops uses cookies, and your site users will need to have cookies enabled on their computers.
