 * Recently my advanced-cache.php file started disappearing, and I receive an error
   message in WP Settings:
 * > advanced-cache.php link does not exist
   >  Create it by executing: ln -s /blog2/
   > wp-content/plugins/wp-cache/wp-cache-phase1.php /blog2/wp-content/advanced-
   > cache.php in your server
   > Cannot continue… fix previous problems and retry.
 * Since I am Yahoo hosted, I don’t have shell access to execute the required command(
   or, ignorantly, don’t know how to accomplish this). So I make a copy of the wp-
   cache-phase1.php file, renamed it advanced-cache.php, and placed it in the wp-
   content folder.
 * That works for a while. But after an hour or so, the new file disappears from
   my FTP directory!
 * I am running WP 2.6, my blog is biofuelsdigest.com. The problem is slowing down
   the site response considerably during peak times, and driving me a little nutty.

 * Some additional information. The file advanced-cache.php disappears when WP Cache
   manager is run.
 * Thanks for any insight offered if you have encountered this problem before.

 * Hi jml1618,
 * I have the exact same problem with Yahoo hosting. (No obvious way to execute 
   the command on my hosting server)
 * Did you ever get this resolved?
 * I’m on 2.7.1
 * Thanks,
