 * On trying to activate the plugin i get a fatal error:
 * /srv/www/vhosts/default/htdocs/company_new/wp-content/w3tc/dbcache could not 
   be created, please run following command:
    chmod 777 /srv/www/vhosts/default/
   htdocs/company_new/wp-content/w3tc then.
 * But wp-content does have permission to write. If i try to create a folder called
   w3tc manually and then reactivate the plugin, the folder gets deleted and the
   errormessage appears again.
 * Any hints or tricks?!

 * Does `wp-content/uploads/` exist and is chmod 777?
