 * Update: after we did some tests, we found something else.
 * This is the php Info file on that server: [http://wp.bweb.ch/phpinfo.php](http://wp.bweb.ch/phpinfo.php)
   (
   php and Apache versions up to date)
 * When I try to activate the plugin, **Apache suddenly crashes**, and this is the
   only log:
 * `AH00428: Parent: child process 6112 exited with status 255 -- Restarting`
 * Do you already experienced this issue?

 * [@wfalaa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wfalaa/) this is the server log
   error:
 *  [Thu Nov 17 11:49:29.140013 2016] [:error] [pid 4560:tid 2112] [client 62.48.103.185:

 * The upload via wp-admin or via FTP of the plugin goes right.
    Once I try to activate
   the plugin, the system crashes: WordPress can not activate the plugin and the
   page in the browser, after the max execution time, stays blank and the site (
   public + admin) becomes unaccessible. The only way to restore the site, is to
   delete the plugin’s folder via FTP.
 * I have no idea of what’s appening with this plugin.

 * OK founded.
    The right place is in the **wp-content/plugins/w3-total-cache/inc/
   define.php** file.
 * Find and add a new folder (wherever you want):
    `defined('WP_CONTENT_DIR') ||
   define('WP_CONTENT_DIR', realpath(W3TC_DIR . '/../../MY-NEW-FOLDER'));`
 * or like I did (so that al these files are in the _uploads_ folder)
 * `defined('WP_CONTENT_DIR') || define('WP_CONTENT_DIR', realpath(W3TC_DIR . '/../../
   uploads'));`
 * Tested and it’s ok.
 * 😉
