# [Plugin: WP Super Cache] Server Error 500

 * I get the following error at the bottom of the page source:
    WP Super Cache is
   installed but broken. The path to wp-cache-phase1.php in wp-content/advanced-
   cache.php must be fixed!
 * I updated the path:
    ‘CACHEHOME’ . ‘wp-cache-phase1.php’ to ‘/wp-content/plugins/
   wp-super-cache/wp-cache-phase1.php’
 * also tried:
    ‘[http://mydomain.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-super-cache/wp-cache-phase1.php&#8217](http://mydomain.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-super-cache/wp-cache-phase1.php&#8217);
 * Then I get Server Error 500 in either case.
 * Little help would be appreciated.

 * It must be the full absolute file path:
 * /path/to/your/web/directory/wp-content/plugins/wp-super-cache/wp-cache-phase1.
   php’
 * where /path/to/your/web/directory is unique to your system.

 * These might also work:
 * WPCACHEHOME . ‘wp-cache-phase1.php’
 * WP_CONTENT_DIR . ‘/plugins/wp-super-cache/’ . ‘wp-cache-phase1.php’

 * I’m afraid you need the full path, that file is included before WP_CONTENT_DIR
   is defined. 🙁

 * I get the following error when i tried to activate the plugin:
 * “Internal Server Error
 * The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to
   complete your request.
 * Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@l*** and inform them of the
   time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused
   the error.
 * More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
 * Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying 
   to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.”
 * I installed the plugin, on Easy click on “ON”, and on Advanced, I tick all “recommended”
   boxes and clicked on “update settings”
 * I’m a total noob and need help please…
