Files own by nobody on Free BSD server

    Hi,

    I recently installed W3 Total Cache for a new WordPress installation on Free BSD server. When I tried to activate the plugin, I got some errors:

    FTP credentials don't allow to delete folder /usr/www/users/xxx/directory/wp-content/cache/config

    W3 Total Cache Error: Files and directories could not be automatically created to complete the installation.

    Please execute commands manually or use FTP form to allow W3 Total Cache make it automatically.

    Execute next commands in a shell:
rm -rf /usr/www/users/cwarren/threeoaks/wp-content/cache/config

    When I tried to remove the config directory, I received a “Permission denied” error. When I looked at the files and folders ownership, it said “nobody”. Most of the files and folders created by W3 Total Cache is now owned by nobody. I can’t delete them anymore as I don’t have root access to it. What can I do?

    Thanks!
