[Plugin: WP Super Cache] php5 chmod issue

  • Hi Donncha et al.

    Absolutely love the Super-Cache plugin which have hugely improved my site load times. Unfortunately, since my upgrade to php5 and WP 2.7.1, I haven’t been able to get Super-Cache working. I’m getting the following error :

    Error: Your cache directory (/home/USERNAME/public_html/wp-content/cache/) or /home/USERNAME/public_html/wp-content need to be writable for this plugin to work. Double-check it.Cannot continue… fix previous problems and retry.

    My problem is that (I think) I can only set folders to chmod 755 when I’m using php5.

    Would anyone happen to know any way around this? I’m at a loss. I’ve worked through the troubleshooting section, to no avail.

  • According to that page PHP runs as your user id so make sure that dir is writable by you.

    Which directory do I need to ensure is writeable by me?

    All the chmods are now set to 755 for folders and 644 for files in the public_html directory (recursing through subdirectories too). I’m still getting the above error though.

    My hosting company fixed the issue for me.
    Not sure what the problem was.
    All seems to be functioning properly now.
