   Hi there. I have a problem and I need your help.

   I'm trying to install WP-cache. But I'm running into an error that says

   advanced-cache.php link does not exist
   Create it by executing:
   ln -s /home/vol3/byethost11.com/b11_706581/crazyharp81602.byethost11.com/htdocs/WordPress2/wp-content/plugins/wp-cache/wp-cache-phase1.php /home/vol3/byethost11.com/b11_706581/crazyharp81602.byethost11.com/htdocs/WordPress2/wp-content/advanced-cache.php
   in your server

   What should I do? After all I'm still new to wordpress.org and I need people like you to help me figure out how to fix this.

   Could you do that, please?

   Thanks. But there's one more thing I'm very perplexed with. How do I change the username and password values on the wp-cache-maker-config.php?

   did you read the permalink page? Or read the readme.txt?

   "Once unzipped, There is one file that you should edit, wp-cache-maker-config.php. It contains your login name and password to access the script. Open that file in a plain text editor and locate this line:
   alice = "goober"
   In the above example, alice would be your login name and goober would be your password. Change those values, and save the file."

   That's fairly straightforward :)

   I did everything you guys told me to. But unfortunately when I tried to create the symbolic link, I get the following message:

   Fatal Error!

   proc_open() has been disabled for security reasons

   in /home/vol3/byethost11.com/b11_706581/crazyharp81602.byethost11.com/htdocs/WordPress/wp-cache-symlinker.php, line 249.

   How am I going to fix it now?

   Never mind! I've finally found a solution to all this. Anyone of you who has a major problem with trying to create the symbolic link because of server blockage and other reasons has got to add this plugin

   http://twentythree7.com/wp-cache-nosymlink/

   This plugin already has the advanced-cache.php file needed to make the cache work. Thus, sparing everyone the trouble of trying to make this plugin work manually.

   Check it out!

    BTW, Don't forget to create a cache folder in your wp-content folder. :)
