 * Hello all,
 * I am setting up the plugin wp super cache but i receive this message:
 * **Error: Configuration file /home/marmibrand/www/wp-content/wp-cache-config.php
   is missing.**
 * Warning! You may not have permission to use this plugin on your site.
   The file/
   home/marmibrand/www/wp-content/advanced-cache.php has been created by another
   plugin or by your system administrator. Please examine the file carefully via
   FTP or SSH and consult your hosting documentation.
 * If it was created by another cache plugin, please uninstall that plugin first
   before activating WP Super Cache. If the file is not deleted by that action, 
   you must delete the file manually.
 * I don’t have another cache plugin installed. Does anyone know how to solve it?
 * Thanks!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fproblem-setting-up-wp-super-cache%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hi [@luram94](https://wordpress.org/support/users/luram94/),
 * We have high level guide addressing the issues you raised here: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-super-cache/#description](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-super-cache/#description).
 * Scroll down to the troubleshooting section.
 * Before following these steps, make sure to take a backup of your site, so you
   have a good snapshot to revert back to if needed.
 * Please follow these steps and let us know if it helps:
    1. Manually remove `/home/marmibrand/www/wp-content/advanced-cache.php`. Then, 
       you must copy wp-super-cache/advanced-cache.php into wp-content/. You must edit
       the file and change the path so it points to the wp-super-cache folder.
    2. If `wp-content/wp-cache-config.php` is missing, copy `wp-super-cache/wp-cache-
       config-sample.php` to `wp-content/wp-cache-config.php`. Ensure `WPCACHEHOME`
       points to the correct directory in wp-config.php.
 * If the issue persists, please reply to this thread with more details.
 * Thank you!
