# [Plugin: DB Cache Reloaded] Error : chmod 755 wp-content folder

 * I tried to install the plugin but I get these two messages:
 *     ```
       Caching can't be activated. Please chmod 755 wp-content folder
   
       Settings can't be saved. Please chmod 755 file config.ini
       ```
   
 * Questions:
    1. My “wp-content” folder is set to 755. Why do I get this message?
   2. Where is “config.ini” located at?

    Caching can’t be activated. Please chmod 755 wp-content
 * all permissions are ok.

 * Same problem here in v2.02 with WP2.92. “Caching can’t be activated. Please chmod
   755 wp-content folder”

 * I just tried activating again and it worked this time. Very odd. We’ll see if
   it stays on.

 * Very odd, I keep getting the same message although my chmod settings a just fine.
   This plugin seems to have hick-ups.

 * I just set everything to 777, and oddly that worked. I set it back to 755, and
   it still works without any problem.

 * That’s a great tip, alanfung. I set wp-content to 777, the plugin starts working
   and even sets wp-content back to 755. Oh, what a beautiful world.

 * same problem, my solution:
 * delete tmp folder from wp content folder if there.
 * (i had it because i had it installed time ago).
 * then enable db cache.

 * my simple solution is rename the tmp folder with the other name like tmp2 or 
   tmp1 and then enable db cache.

 * it seems your server is in safe mode = ON.
    There is workaround I think. It is
   in Japanese though. I’ll try to translate it if I had time.
