 * I am trying to load the WP Super Cache, and believe I have it all set up properly.
   The moment I add:
 * define(‘WP_CACHE’, true);
 * to the wp-config file, my site won’t load. Meaning I’ll go to access it, and 
   the screen just hangs. The moment I remove that line from the wp-config file,
   it loads back up.
 * Any ideas what might be happening and why?

 * Why are you trying to edit the config file? Uploading, installing and setting
   up the plugin is sufficient to make it work.

 * Because the plugin options page says I need to add that line to the config file
   or the plugin won’t work. I upload the plugin, activate it, and go to the options
   page and get this:
 * Error: WP_CACHE is not enabled in your wp-config.php file and I couldn’t modify
   it.
    Edit /var/www/vhosts/revolutiontwo.com/httpdocs/wp-config.php and add the
   following line: define(‘WP_CACHE’, true); Otherwise, WP-Cache will not be executed
   by WordPress core.

 * Do you mean this?:
 * > If you have WP-Cache installed already, please disable it. Edit wp-config.php**
   > and make sure the WP_CACHE define is deleted**
 * Please read twice.
 * WP-Cache is another thing and this means you can’t use both plugins at the same
   time.
 * [edit]
    Ah, you mean this:
 * > Make sure the following line is in wp-config.php and it is ABOVE the “require_once(
   > ABSPATH.’wp-settings.php’);” line:
   > > define( ‘WP_CACHE’, true );
 * You only need to do that manually when the plugin didn’t do it for you.

 * Right – no, I don’t have WP-Cache installed, this is my first attempt at installing
   a Cache plugin.

 * In that case I’d try to change back the config file to what it was and then just
   upload WP Super Cache, activate it and change the settings. If your permissions,
   etc. are all correct, the plugin will handle everything for you.

 * I’m telling you, I do that, and can’t get to the theme options page because of
   the error I’m seeing…

 * Right, sorry, didn’t notice that immediately. My guess is that it’s a file permission
   thing, since normally the plugins handles everything for you. I’m not the expert
   though, the author of the plugin was online this afternoon, but since he didn’t
   pick up this thread, I suppose he’s not right now. I added a tag to this thread.
   I suppose Donncha uses it to pick up threads about his plugin and he may have
   more (and especially better) suggestions than myself.

 * bmg1227 – anything in your php error log? Check the error section of your php.
   ini to enable it.
    Have you gone through the steps in the troubleshooting section
   of the readme?

 * Ok, update I got past the issue I mentioned with the screenshot – but when I 
   enable the plugin and set the Super Cache Status to on, my site can’t be accessed–
   it just hangs like I mentioned before. As soon as I disable it, then the site
   loads fine.
