# [Plugin: WP Super Cache] Won't Start Caching

 * I’m hosted on an IIS6 platform. I turned caching on, but no pages have become
   cached. The telltales (“super-cache” verbage in the page source) or files written
   to wp-content/cache are missing. Thus, nothing is happening. There are no error
   messages, except there is a warning that my wp-content permissions are set to
   writeable, and I should fix that with a chmod 755.
 * I’m using the PATHINFO “almost pretty” form of permalinks (because my site crashed
   when I tried to add/use an .htaccess file).

 * Did you try the debug system in the plugin? That should tell you a lot about 
   why it’s not caching.

 * I’ve activated debug messaging to e-mail. However, no e-mails have arrived. The
   built-in tester gives me this output:
 * Fetching [http://www.ariasamp.net/](http://www.ariasamp.net/) to prime cache:
   OK
    Fetching first copy of [http://www.ariasamp.net/](http://www.ariasamp.net/):
   OK Fetching second copy of [http://www.ariasamp.net/](http://www.ariasamp.net/):
   OK The pages do not match! Timestamps differ or were not found!
 * Is there another way to extract debug information? I don’t seem to be receiving
   any.

 * Yeah, just log it to a file.
