Answer 1

Mustache failed to create the directory because the web server (Apache) does not have the current permissions.

chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/

Applying the above command to the right directory fixed the issue and all the files generated as expected once slim was allowed to create the files.

Answer 2

This is just what it says on the tin. In order to cache compiled templates, Mustache needs to be able to write to the cache directory. If PHP (or the web server process it's running under) can't write to the cache directory, you should create the directory yourself and chown and chmod so that it can.
