 * I get the following error:
 * Failed to update your /wp-content/advanced-cache.php file. Most likely a permissions
   error. Please create an empty file here: /wp-content/advanced-cache.php (just
   an empty PHP file, with nothing in it); give it permissions 644 or higher (perhaps
   666). Once you’ve done this, please try again.
 * My host won’t let me set this permission.
 * Can you please send a copy of the default advanced-cache.php file and I can upload
   it.
 * Will this still work?
 * Thanks,
 * John

 * Hi John,
 * Unfortunately the `advanced-cache.php` file is dynamically generated by Quick
   Cache using the settings and configuration specific to your WordPress install,
   so it wouldn’t be possible to simply “send” you a copy of it.
 * If your host won’t let you change permissions on that file, then I suggest changing
   web hosts. That file (`advanced-cache.php`) is part of WordPress and it’s _designed_
   to be written to by caching plugins. A web host that won’t let you change permissions
   on that file is not a good web host for WordPress.
