 * I know this is an old issue was supposedly fixed in the past but I’m experiencing
   it with the latest plugin version.
 * I’m running suphp in a setup which requires 644 for files. WP Super Cache sets
   600 for the cache files. I’m pretty sure it’s a umask problem in Apache/Php.
 * Anyone know of a quick fix to save me some time? I’m up to my eyeballs with other
   work and would be much appreciated.

 * Got it. It was the suphp config file which had a umask of 0077. Edit `/etc/suphp/
   suphp.conf` (or wherever you keep yours) and set `umask=0022` to get 644 files
   and 755 dirs.
 * Surprising that I haven’t seen this solution in these threads, although other
   people discussed suphp, or maybe I just missed it.
 * It might be worth adding this info in WPSC … for the Admin Panel test, if it 
   can’t read back the .html files then it could tell the user some possible causes.
   Currently it just says “failed to read”.
 * Cheers
