 * because:
 * ´Can’t write to the directory (please chmod it to 0775): /var/www/clients/clientXX/
   webXX/web/wp-content/plugins/web-optimizer/cache/´
 * could this check please be changed to 755? that seems to be default for suPhp
   installations but I am open for suggestions.
 * The point is, this installation ran just fine, but I disabled the plugin and 
   now I can’t enable it again…

 * Web Optimizer checks this directory for writing permissions. If there is no such
   permissions, it can’t write to it. Usually (in the most cases) 0775 for directory
   is enough.
 * If there is any way to detect from PHP how it’s run (via Apache or suPhp) – to
   change this number to 0755 for some cases — please write here.
