 * I added `define('ENABLE_CACHE', TRUE);` to my wp-config.php file and I created
   a cache directory under wp-content with permissions 755. No files are appearing
   in that directory and the “server status” plug-in says:
 * Page Cache (Plugin): Disabled
    Object Cache: Disabled
 * Background:
    I have a long-running blog with WordPress 4.7. In the past it has
   has a number of cache plug-ins, including WP Cache, WP Super Cache, W3 Total 
   Cache and most recently the Falcon caching engine in WordFence. Presumably all
   of those prior cache solutions have been removed according to the instructions
   that come with them.
 * Things I tried:
 * – Re-installing WordPress 4.7
    – Deleting an advanced-cache.php file I found 
   in the wp-content directory – Deleting the wp-content/cache directory to see 
   if WordPress would re-create it (it didn’t).
 * Server status report:
 *     ```
