 * Hello, I would like to try your plugin before I install it on my live site. However,
   when I go to the settings I see a bunch of warnings. I have my WP installed on
   a subdirectory, but Gator wants to install on my root. I’m not really sure how
   to proceed. Can you please help?

 * If your web files aren’t writeable by the webserver, you have to manually install
   the config files and cache directory and chown them as described in your messages.
   This would apply to any cache plugin as they would all need to write the advance-
   cache file, cache directory, etc. For multisite, you’d need to install it on 
   the parent site.

 * Hello again. I tried addressing a few of the items, but when I refreshed the 
   page the warnings were still displayed. I then reversed my changes then just 
   pushed the “Install” button. It seems Gator Cache has been installed. Are the
   warning messages just a precaution or are they messages that are generated according
   to your setup? It’s a bit confusing.
 * Is there a way to verify that it’s running? Thank you.

 * If it’s properly installed, you’ll no longer see the install menu and you’ll 
   see the GatorCache management panel. When the cache is enabled, you can view 
   the page source on your website and you’ll see comments at the end of the page
   that list the pertinent cache information.
 * However, it sounds like your webfiles cannot be written to by the webserver, 
   so no cache plugin is going to work out of the box without changing file / folder
   permissions.
