# The script advanced-cache.php could not load wp-cache-phase1.php.

 * My hosting company advised me to change from W3 Total Cache to WP Super Cache.
   I just installed this plugin and got the following error message
 * “Warning! WP Super Cache caching was broken but has been fixed! The script advanced-
   cache.php could not load wp-cache-phase1.php.
 * The file /home/wakeup9/public_html/wp-content/advanced-cache.php has been recreated
   and WPCACHEHOME fixed in your wp-config.php. Reload to hide this message.”
 * As per advise that I have found here. I deleted all the plugin files and reinstalled.
   But still get the same message.
 * It seems something may need to be changed in the wp-config file, but the details
   were a bit vague and I am not too sure what needs to change.
 * These are the entries in my wp-config file that I can see associated with the
   plugin
 * At the top of the wp-config file
 * /** Enable W3 Total Cache */
    define( ‘WPCACHEHOME’, ‘/home/wakeup9/public_html/
   wp-content/plugins/wp-super-cache/’ ); //Added by WP-Cache Manager //define(‘
   WP_CACHE’, true); //Added by WP-Cache Manager
 * **Is that first line a left over entry from W3 Total Cache? could this be the
   issue?**
 * At the bottom of the wp-config file
    /** Absolute path to the WordPress directory.*/
   if ( !defined(‘ABSPATH’) ) define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/’);
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 * Thanks

 * Uncomment the WP_CACHE line in wp-config.php – that should fix it.

 * Thanks for your reply Donncha… Sorry to sound dumb, but what do you mean by “
   uncomment”?

 * You need to remove the “//” at the start of the line.

 * Thanks Donncha. I removed the “//” and was able to turn “Caching On (Recommended)”
 * But I am still getting the same above error message of “Warning! WP Super Cache
   caching was broken but has been fixed! The script advanced-cache.php could not
   load wp-cache-phase1.php.
 * The file /home/wakeup9/public_html/wp-content/advanced-cache.php has been recreated
   and WPCACHEHOME fixed in your wp-config.php. Reload to hide this message.”
 * I also have a new message now stating “WP_CACHE constant added to wp-config.php
   If you continue to see this warning message please see point 5 of the Troubleshooting
   Guide. The WP_CACHE line must be moved up.
 * As per my hosting companys advise. I need to “Use mod_rewrite to serve cache 
   files. (Recommended)” But I can not get the “Update Mod_Rewrite Rules” button
   to save the data.
 * Thanks for your help Donncha

 * Just checked my site, something has updated or refreshed and all issues from 
   my last post have been resolved.
 * Thanks again for your help Donncha
