 * Hi there,
 * Last week our WP-CACHE plugin suddenly stopped working. When we log into wp-admin
   and check the plugin options, we see this error:
 * Error: Your cache directory () did not exist and couldn’t be created by the web
   server.
    Check permissions. Cannot continue… fix previous problems and retry.
 * I have checked, doublechecked and reset the permissions to 777 on the wp-content
   and wp-content/cache, disabled, deleted and then re-installed the plugin and 
   the cache directory, and still no luck.
 * I have been searching for days and haven’t found any reference to this error 
   anywhere… any help would be much appreciated!
 * Thanks!

 * I have had similar problems once I upgraded from PHP4 to latest version of PHP5.
   Did you upgrade PHP? Maybe it is related to UID checks and some php.ini options?
   Let me know if you find a solution.
