Explain the WordPress Cache please

  • Hey guys, im trying to make some of my basic WordPress functions a bit more cache friendly, but i have a feel that because my dev server is on a Windows box its having a bit of trouble working properly.

    Can someone explain how the cahce works? i can push the data needed into the $wp_object_cache Object with ease, but it does not seem to keep it there.

    I think this is due to the fact that WP cant save to the wp-content/cache folder on my Windows based Dev box.

    If someone could just give me a basic idea of what happens to the $wp_object_cache object when it does have writeable access that would be great

    You really think your post will stay on here long enough for you to get spider’d by search engines ?

    I don’t know what version of Windows you are using. If it is Win 2000 Server version, I believe you should set write and execute permissions for the web server ( I guess you use IIS ) on the cache directory.

    This user, if you didn’t change that, is normally IUSR_your_machine_name, e.g. if you named the maching TAURUS, IIS would have the user name IUSR_TAURUS.
    ( This is the proxy user for the anonymous client/browser ).
