Are you 'freely' complaining mate!? M2 is new and still in dev - if you can't fix it or make it better/faster than Magento Inc then by all means buy yourself a mature ecommerce platform. Lucky you; those retail more or less $100k~$500k.

Note that I've had that same issue on M2.1.0 RC3 to find out that my permissions weren't set properly on my /root when I've initially installed it.

[kfaer]

OK.. so do you think it is still too early to use M2.1 in production?

[commcad]

Happily in prod with M2.1.0GA here bud. Just make sure you install it correctly with properly set and maintained permissions. The only true "operational" issue I came across was the dB schema (#4785) and (less operational related) some email templates that weren't loading correctly (#5101).

Both offering quick fixes. Of course there are few other bugs but nothing in the lines that would make you and/or your customers to fail. So I'd say yes, good enough for prod.

Other than that, the thing is flying at 100mph and selling days & nights here.

ok.. can you test my site from your side and check if you can add a product/s to cart? herara.com

Run below first and I'll give it a try:

(replace: m2user as in your login account and www-data as your nginx/apache group)

cd /your m2 root/

sudo usermod -g www-data m2user
sudo chown -R m2user:www-data .
find var vendor pub/static pub/media app/etc -type f -exec chmod g+w {} ;
find var vendor pub/static pub/media app/etc -type d -exec chmod g+ws {} ;
chown -R :www-data .
chmod u+x bin/magento

Once you've set perms, run below to bring it back to an ootb stance.

rm -rf /var/www/mydomain.com/var/di
rm -rf /var/www/mydomain.com/pub/static/frontend/
rm -rf /var/www/mydomain.com/var/view_preprocessed/*
rm -rf /var/www/mydomain.com/var/page_cache/*
rm -rf /var/www/mydomain.com/var/generation/*
php bin/magento setup:upgrade && php bin/magento setup:di:compile && php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy && php bin/magento indexer:reindex && php bin/magento cache:clean && php bin/magento cache:flush

Let me know and I'll give it a go

I'm using centos 7 with plesk

[commcad]

Just adjust so centos doesn't complain. Should be the same or similar.

Tried your site and you are correct, minicart does not increment :/

[kfaer]

it will increment if you visit the checkout/cart page then wait for the summary to load (i do not know why it takes time to load) only at that time the minicart works....!

[stevekem]

Might be a different issue than what your having, but thought I would share.

[kfaer]

@stevekem thank you, I think that solve the issue, testing , @commcad could you please test it, thank you

[commcad]

No, not working. If not perms related then it looks as if you have 'session' issues. Does not checkin nor increment your minicart and the green banner trails for a few pages.

I see that you have tried to reinstall everything. How are you managing your sessions? use M2's cache, Opcache, memcache, others? redis?

[kfaer]

I'm using M2's cache but php opcashe is enabled
