 * Hi!
 * Thanks for a good plugin i use it on many sites with good results.
 * However on one host I cannot enable the cache. On this host I get an error that
   the plugin was broken but now fixed.
 * Which it wasn’t.
 * After defining WPCACHEHOME manually in wp-config.php the error message goes away:
   
   define(‘WPCACHEHOME’, ‘/path/to/super-cache’);
 * When i then try to enable the cache again i get no errors. But if i reload the
   settings page the cache has been turned off again.
 * I can see that the plugin generates a lot of files in the wp-content folder with
   different number series as names, for example: 16565600.php 73838132.php and 
   so on. These files are a copy of the wp-cache-config.php file.
 * I’m not sure where to start troubleshoot this problem. The error log does not
   contain any entries after setting the correct WPCACHEHOME.
