W3 Total Cache Version 0.9.2.7 problems unable to create folders

  • Hi,

    I updated to Version 0.9.2.6 now updated to Version 0.9.2.7 but i still get the same problems. I have started a fresh topic as requested in another post.

    WordPress 3.5.1 hosing with Amerinoc (dedicated server)

    Using Version 0.9.2.7 I have the following errors:

    Unfortunately we’re not able to create folders and files or write to them to complete the installation for you automatically. Please enter FTP details below to complete the setup.

    Either the /usr/home/mysite/domains/mysite.com/public_html/wp-content directory is not write-able or another caching plugin is installed.This error message will automatically disappear once the change is successfully made.

    Current process is run by mysite:apache (1010:1004) but owner of created files is apache:apache (1005:1004). They should be the same. Talk with your host about this issue.

    If this is correct behavior then read WordPress Update Constants section in WordPress Codex with regards to FS_METHOD for possible solution. Defining it disables the check.

    I spoke with my host and they advised the folder permissions were fine, they also logged into WP Admin but were unable so far to ascertain the problem

    The directory w3tc can be deleted. /usr/home/mysite/domains/mysite.com/public_html/wp-content: w3tc. However, do not remove the w3tc-config directory.

    I tried to delete the w3tc folder but was prevented from doing so because the folder is not empty, I renamed it w3tc_OLD, but the message just updated to say delete w3tc_OLD

    W3 Total Cache Error: The plugin tried to edit, /usr/home/mysite/domains/mysite.com/public_html/.htaccess, but failed. This means that the plugin cannot make the correct file/folder changes on its own. Please review your file permissions (file owner, rights …). Common cause is .htaccess and /usr/home/mysite/domains/mysite.com/public_html/wp-content having different owners or permissions.

    File: /usr/home/mysite/domains/mysite.com/public_html/.htaccess File owner: mysite:apache
    File: /usr/home/mysite/domains/mysite.com/public_html/wp-content Folder permissions are 0775 should be 0755. File owner: mysite:apache
    File owner of current script: mysite:apache

    I changed the ownership of .htaccess File owner: mysite:mysite

    I changed the wp-content Folder permissions from 0775 to 0755 and change the owner to mysite:mysite

    Page caching is not available: please add: define(‘WP_CACHE’, true); to /usr/home/mysite/domains/mysite.com/public_html/wp-config.php.

    I added define(‘WP_CACHE’, true); to the last line of wp-config.php

    Page caching is not available. The current add-in /usr/home/mysite/domains/mysite.com/public_html/wp-content/advanced-cache.php is either an incorrect file or an old version. De-activate the plugin, remove the file, then activate the plugin again.

    I de-activated plugin and removed this file, but i still get this message

    Database caching is not available. The current add-in /usr/home/mysite/domains/mysite.com/public_html/wp-content/db.php is either an incorrect file or an old version. De-activate the plugin, remove the file, then activate the plugin again.

    I de-activated plugin and removed this file, but i still get this message

    Object caching is not available. The current add-in /usr/home/mysite/domains/mysite.com/public_html/wp-content/object-cache.php is either an incorrect file or an old version. De-activate the plugin, remove the file, then activate the plugin again.

    I de-activated plugin and removed this file, but i still get this message

    The following configuration changes are needed to ensure optimal performance:

# END W3TC Browser Cache

    [Moderator note: In future, please wrap code in backticks]

    I added this code to the top of the .htaccess file

    After making these changes I logged out of admin and back in: still some errors as before (although less)

    Unfortunately we’re not able to create folders and files or write to them to complete the installation for you automatically. Please enter FTP details below to complete the setup

    I de-activated the W3 Total cache plugin and re-activated it but same errors exist

    Finally uninstalled the plugin and re-installed but same errors are visible in dashboard

    I will leave the plugin de-activated for now.

    Thanks for all the sterling effort you have and continue to put into W3 Total Cache, I hope this detailed explanation is helpful in discerning the problems.

    Thanks once again

  • I have exactly the same problem! Tried everything you did, but indeed, it doesn’t work. I hope there will be a fix available soon! Deactivated the plugin for now..

    I had the “The directory w3tc can be deleted. (…) However, do not remove the w3tc-config directory”.
    With the plugin activated the site is white, without the content.
    Deactivated, for now.

    Yep, exactly the same on my site after updating to 0.9.2.7. Hoping for a quick fix by the developers.

    Same problem on installing (minus the De-activate the plugin, remove the file, then activate the plugin again. parts since I activated the plugin for the first time).

    Same problem here.

    Upgraded to 0.9.2.8 appears to be working ok. Had to change a few folder permissions as advised by the plugin but all seems ok.

    I upgraded too and it works now.

    Same problem. Really struggling with the total cache since the update.
