Is there a directory under `web/app/cache/acorn/framework/cache`, in the Bedrock/WordPress site directory? What owner/group and what permissions has it?

No. I had to create it manually and change user permission to make www-data the owner.

That directory should be created automatically in recent  
Sage 10 (`acorn`) (see this [related issue](https://github.com/roots/sage/issues/2946)).  
What version of Sage 10 and also `acorn` is the project using?

Hello  
I use sage 10 on WSL Ubuntu. To solve the problem, I had to create the the directory manually and change permission to ww-data.  
Hope that helps if someone has the same issue.
