[Plugin: W3 Total Cache] New version, something better, but minify STILL DOES NOT work for me!

Exact same problem here!

Using apache web server? Apache isn’t using the .htaccess file in wp-content/w3tc/min/. Check your web server configuration or disable URL rewriting for minify.

Hello,
I noticed this in the “compatibility check” :

WordPress Resources

/wordpress_mu_292_php/wp-content: Write-able
/wordpress_mu_292_php/.htaccess Write-able
Not write-able
Uploads directory: Write-able
WP_CACHE define: OK
Fancy permalinks: OK
Network mode: On
VHOST mode: On

Notice how the third line says “not write-able” but doesn’t specify what this message is referring to.

Could this be an issue?

Hey Frederick, what should I check about server configuration? Of course I do not have control on it, it’s a public hosting (000webhost… yes, worse one :D).

About rewriting, I tried yet, I get a different error:
"NetworkError: 400 Bad Request - https://spingitoridicavalieri.webatu.com/wp-content/w3tc/min/index.php?tt=3f5a17&gg=default&g=include&t=js "

Thanks, bye!

Ah, was forgetting, I’ve the log files fulled by this lines:

[26-Jul-2010 16:08:44] PHP Warning:  realpath() [<a href='function.realpath'>function.realpath</a>]: open_basedir restriction in effect.

The most of them are the “open_basedir restriction” type.

I hope it means something, and that there’s a way to cure this verbosity! ??

UP…

I have the very same problem, I submitted a but report form the support tab but still couldn’t find a workaround for the minify issue in my server.

At least should be useful knowing wuat is the problem, does this feature, it’s an apache setting, a misconfiguration, a missing module?
So we could ask something to our hosters, change servers pr simply give up! ??

I think the problem is with the paths , there are some functions returning paths to some files and folders in the plugin , but on openbase_dir restriction those function aren’t returning the paths correctly . So maybe the author should add support for hosts with openbase_dir restriction , i think , this can be done by making additional fields in administration were user must put the paths manually , there maybe other ways i don’t know for sure but i think support for hosts with openbase_dir should be added .

Hi,
I also have my websites hosted in 000webhosting and also run the same problem. I cannot use this plugin, and I really miss it :(. I tried with other called Wp Super Cache, and after enabling it, I tried Google Firefox Plugin to check my site. It was in 66/100 score, and after it, the score was the same. With Total Cache in my local testing site, I improved the score to 77/100!!!! I hope you can find a solution. Thank you.

@the_loop I would love to debug on someone’s server as I’d obviously like to resolve this case. ??

Well I definitely would love it, what can I do to help you debug?

I notice you a new error:

[04-Aug-2010 07:33:46] PHP Warning: Division by zero in /home/XXXXXXX/public_html/wp-content/plugins/w3-total-cache/lib/W3/PgCache.php on line 436
That line says:
$comments_pages_number = ceil($comments_number / $comments_per_page);

I suppose that if there’s no comments it rightly divides by zero?

Frederik, I would also love to help you. Tell me what to do, and I’ll do it (If I know how, of course ?? )

Hey frederick,
I can give you access to one of my servers were I have this issue to see if we can solve it. what can we do?
