• I installed W3 Total Cache on our site (via Dashboard -> plugins) but it appears to break the site. I have WordPress installed in the /content directory, not in the root. My root’s .htaccess looks like

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?mysitename.org$
    RewriteRule ^(/)?$ content/index.php [L]
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>
    # END WordPress

    After installing and enabling this plugin, my site no longer works. The main page comes up but all other pages result in my site’s error page.

    # BEGIN W3TC Browser Cache
    <IfModule mod_deflate.c>
        <IfModule mod_headers.c>
            Header append Vary User-Agent env=!dont-vary
        </IfModule>
            AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/css text/x-component application/x-javascript application/javascript text/javascript text/x-js text/html text/richtext image/svg+xml text/plain text/xsd text/xsl text/xml image/x-icon application/json
        <IfModule mod_mime.c>
            # DEFLATE by extension
            AddOutputFilter DEFLATE js css htm html xml
        </IfModule>
    </IfModule>
    # END W3TC Browser Cache
    # BEGIN W3TC Page Cache core
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
        RewriteEngine On
        RewriteBase /content/
        RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-Encoding} gzip
        RewriteRule .* - [E=W3TC_ENC:_gzip]
        RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} w3tc_preview [NC]
        RewriteRule .* - [E=W3TC_PREVIEW:_preview]
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !=POST
        RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} =""
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \/$
        RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !(comment_author|wp-postpass|w3tc_logged_out|wordpress_logged_in|wptouch_switch_toggle) [NC]
        RewriteCond "%{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/content/wp-content/cache/page_enhanced/%{HTTP_HOST}/%{REQUEST_URI}/_index%{ENV:W3TC_PREVIEW}.html%{ENV:W3TC_ENC}" -f
        RewriteRule .* "/content/wp-content/cache/page_enhanced/%{HTTP_HOST}/%{REQUEST_URI}/_index%{ENV:W3TC_PREVIEW}.html%{ENV:W3TC_ENC}" [L]
    </IfModule>
    # END W3TC Page Cache core

    but I don’t know how to resolve this.

    I see cached files:
    content/cache/pageenhanced/mysitename.org/_index.html
    content/cache/pageenhanced/mysitename.org/_index.html_gzip
    content/cache/pageenhanced/www.mysitename.org/_index.html
    content/cache/pageenhanced/www.mysitename.org/_index.html_gzip
    but nothing under mysitename.org/content

    I’ve disabled this so that the site is working again. How to I debug/diagnose the failing page content? Is it the rewrite rules in my root?
