 * Never mind, I’m an idiot — it’s not trying to write to the directory.

 * Following on from the advice in [this thread](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-super-cache-debugging-errors-supercache-could-not-write-to-tmp),
   I asked of my hosting provider:
 * > Short version: get in touch with your hosting provider and tell them you have
   > a PHP script that needs to create (not just “edit”) and later at some point
   > delete the temporary files it created; then tell them you need them to set 
   > the PHP / Apache user so that it can do what it needs to do in a directory 
   > with 755 permissions.
 * But they pointed out — quite rightly — that the directories that wp-super-cache
   is trying to write in don’t exist. My blog has links that look like directories,
   e.g. [http://blog.cgpgrey.com/the-united-kingdom-great-britain-england-venn-diagram/](http://blog.cgpgrey.com/the-united-kingdom-great-britain-england-venn-diagram/)
   because of the way the permalink structure is set up.
 * Am I missing some obvious configuration in wp-super-cache that tells it only 
   to write in the cache directory?
