Ok, thanks for your help.

Alright, so you are saying by renaming the template index.php and to home.php, and naming the 404 page to index.php it will work?

wordpress won’t touch your templates, unless you use the built-in web-based edit feature, and if you do, its your own damned fault.

… edit the files offline, and upload them by FTP – if you do this, wordpress won’t ever save over them.

Others on the site use wordpress’s built-in system, I do not. Regardless wordpress should not constantly increase the size of it’s templates for no reason, it should do the opposite.

My caching system must have rules prior to wordpress’s, and I doubt having rewriteengine on called twice is a good idea?

Yes, I followed all the debugging instructions included in the readme.

WP-Cache is working (but only caches 6 pages), Supercache does nothing.

In the error log I could not find anything from WordPress.

If their were a PHP error wouldn’t it say so?

WP-Supercache is also not working for me.
