 * I heard a lot of great stories about W3 Total Cache. So i was very curious about
   this plugin. I just can’t install it. I don’t know what’s going wrong.
 * I get the following error:
    httpdocs/wp-content/w3tc/dbcache could not be created,
   please run following command: chmod 777 /…/httpdocs/wp-content/w3tc
 * I have changed the chmod to 777. It didn’t help. Then I created the files and
   even that didn’t work. I use php5+.
 * Hope somenone can help!
