Just to clarify, in case it wasn't... you should confirm that the temp
directory used by Mason is for caching is writable *by Apache*. If it
was created by the test server running under your UID, and you did not
delete it before moving to Apache, it is very likely that Apache can
not write to it or the files within it (since they're owned by you,
not the user Apache is running as).
