 * Hi all
 * I am running PLEX and MySQL. everything fine with the installation BUT every 
   now and then, depending on the traffic, I keep getting the “database error connection”
   and the whole blog goes down.
 * I ve been looking into it for AGES now and no solution for this. I think it is
   probably the permissions for the cache but I am not sure how to deal with this.
   COULD YOU PLEASE help me with that?
 * I CHANGED the permissions in the wp-content/cache folder but when I ran the advanced-
   cache.php page I receive the following:
 * **Your cache directory ABSPATHwp-content/cache) needs to be writable for this
   plugin to work.**
 * 1) Any suggestions how to deal with this?
    2) Do you know if this is the reason
   why the database is going down every now and then?
 * I dont have a clue of what else it could be, since no other problems occurred
   during instalation!
 * Appreciate it!
