 * 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/](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. 🙂
