Hi Guys,
I recently installed WP Super Cache flawlessly, however, today I noticed that I couldn’t update Wordpress and my plugins automatically. Thus, I chown my “public_html” directory again with my username and the apache group.
Now, I can’t seem to access the WP Super Cache settings on the administration panel.
Your cache directory (/var/www/website.com/public_html/wp-content/cache/) or /var/www/website.com/public_html/wp-content need to be writable for this plugin to work. Double-check it.
I can set the cache folder to 777 and the wp-cache-config.php to 666, however, that would be less secure.
Any ideas on how to resolve this?
J.

Hey there,
Here is a tutorial that goes over permissions in Linux as an overview.
You can scale the permissions back to a 755/644 if you make the folder and files owned by the web server process. Example:
