 * I’m migrating my website to a new webhost. I have 2 plugins that’s giving me 
   error with file permissions, one of which is W3TC.
 * The error I get is:
 * I’m migrating my websites to my vps at chicagovps.net from my old webhost. I 
   have a WordPress plugin, Backwpup, which gives the following error in WP admin:
 * BackWPup:
    chmod 777 /home/forward/domains/mywebsite.com/public_html/wp-content/
   plugins/backwpup/tmp/ is not writeable!
 * I read [http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions](http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions)
   but I have no idea how to protect permissions in wp-config.php since you can’t
   leave it at 777.
 * Is this the correct command I add to wp-config.php or do I use another command?
