    Where do I do this? "You should have mod mime, mod rewrite and fancy permalinks enabled. PHP safe mode should be disabled."

    Please correct me if I am wrong about this. (And, if you know this to be correct, you could mention it, as well.)

    I just set-up the super cache and it is working on Linux, but I made some guesses.

    mod_mime and mod_rewrite are Apache modules that must be enabled via Apache - which means your web host unless you have root access to a dedicated server or VPS.

    I'm guessing that "Fancy Permalinks" are what the WP documentation refers to as "Pretty Permalinks" If I guesses wrong about this, then the following is of no use.

    In the Word Press admin control panel go to options, permalinks.

    There are four options.

    The default gives plain old ugly permalinks.

    The second (date and time) and third one (numeric) require mod_rewrite and are what the wh super-cache instructions refer to as "fancy permalinks"

    The last option (custom) will use the internal WP permalink feature if you have "index.php?" at the beginning to the link specification. If you don't, it will use mod_rewrite.
