# plugin fails

 * Our host (godaddy) had a problem this morning and our test site was not responding.
 * It appears that at the moment that their servers crashed we were trying to clear
   the (wp-supercache) cache
 * Now that their servers are restored we get some sort of dump both on our site
   and when we are on the admin screen in WordPress.
 * We deleted the plugin and re-installed but as soon as we activate the plugin 
   we get the same problem. ( we are running the latest version of both WP and the[
   plugin). Nothing else changed today on our test site.
 * How can we fix this?
 * The dump on the screen is the following
 *     ```

 * Note the last line of the dump
 * **Error: Your cache directory () did not exist and couldn’t be created by the
   web server. Check permissions.**
 * Cannot continue… fix previous problems and retry.`
 * Is there something that we have to do to allow the creation of the cache directory?

 * Deactivated the plugin and deleted the folder for a second time. Uploaded it 
   again and it worked.
 * I am not sure why it didn’t work the first time we deleted the folder. The process
   was identical but by some magic the problem disappeared.
