Comments on: Getting WordPress Super Cache to Run on a Windows (IIS or Apache) Server

As of the current version (0.8.3), here is my experience so far on IIS.

1. You still have to copy wp-cache-phase1.php to /wp-content/advanced-cache.php
2. If you change the wp-cache.php file as instructed in steps 4 and 5, the whole thing breaks and will give you a blank page.
3. Step 8 you need to delete the entire path up to /plugins, so that WPCACHEHOME is set to WP_CONTENT_DIR . “/plugins/wp-super-cache”
4. It stll doesn’t actually work on IIS anyway, even if the ISAPI_Rewrite module is installed. It complains about not having mod_rewrite.

I’ve installed the wp-super-cache plugin in my windows hosting.
everthing is fine but , plug-in also caches my wp-admin folder.
When i delete cache and enter the comments page for example, every page becomes the comments page. But i can enter edit-comments.php?comment_status=moderated or admin.php?page=wp-dbmanager/database-manager.php etc. I can’t access pages like post-new.php , plugins.php etc.

How can i block of caching the wp-admin folder?

I just upgraded to 0.6.5 and it went without a hitch. More importantly, it required no customizations. I backed up my plugin dir and did an automatic upgrade. I expected to have to repeat step 4/5 above as this file would have been overwritten but the code must have been improved as my site is running fine without this step above.

Just thought I would pass along that the latest upgrade to 0.6.5 went without a hitch and more importantly, required no customizations. I backed up my plugin dir and did an automatic upgrade.

Thanks Scott - that all helped to get it working.

Also, one other thing I discovered is the the line to enable the cache:

define(’WP_CACHE’, true);

needs to be at the top of the config file (wp-config.php) to get wp-cache to generate cached content. Its some weird bug.

Glad to hear you got it to work, Scott.

Switching from WordPress to PerformancePress broke our code-formatting plugins, makes it look like the syntax is all wrong… we never did get around to fixing that.. (/me makes mental note to do it soon!)

I just thought I would provide an update on my blank page problem in my previous post a couple months ago.

The syntax I questioned before is fine. After multiple attempts to troubleshoot I had to do 2 things different. Than anything stated so far.

-1 thing I had to do different was my .htaccess file had one small mod from the readme. I had to use “RewriteRule (.+) index.php/$1 [L,QSA]” rather than the similar line (last line) in the readme’s .htaccess

-The other thing I had to do different than above is in Step 8, it didn’t work with the absolute path. Instead I just have:
define( ‘WPCACHEHOME’, ABSPATH . “wp-content/plugins/wp-super-cache/” ); //Added by WP-Cache Manager

Could you please clarify step 3 and 4? I am getting a blank page as soon as I enable caching. It’s different than the other typical blank page problems. It seems to be associated to a syntax error in the code. I appears what you say to replace the code with has syntax errors. Your “{” don’t seem correct but I am not an expert. I also assume you mean to replace the complete function with what you specify above…?

Thanks, now up and running on my Apache2 WAMP server - much faster now.

God, PHP (and especially WordPress!) is slow!!!

I had a hard time getting the rewrite rules working, but now they’re fine
