In the [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/topics/cache/#filesystem-
caching documentation] for
`django.core.cache.backends.filebased.FileBasedCache`, it suggests putting
the cache in `/var/tmp`, presumably because it is world-writeable.
However, this causes major headaches if you run Apache with systemd's
PrivateTmp feature (PrivateTmp is on by default in REHL) and try to access
the cache from e.g. management commands. This is useful to do things like
periodically prepopulate the cache. A better choice would be `/var/cache`.
