 * I’m trying to activate the W3 Total Cache plugin, but when I do, it gives me 
   the following error:
 * /var/www/vhosts/cadencemed.com/httpdocs/blog/wp-content/w3tc/min/index.php could
   not be created, please run following command:
    chmod 777 /var/www/vhosts/cadencemed.
   com/httpdocs/blog/wp-content/w3tc/min/index.php
 * I have no idea how to run this command. Can someone please advise?

 * You can edit this either in cPanel or using a FTP client.
    It is called permissions.
