[Plugin: W3 Total Cache] Status not cached

Well i have more infos to add and i think that i know where is the problem, seems W3 Total Cache bug.

As you know Cpanel install mod_rewrite and it is compiled in so.

But into Compatibility check “mod_rewrite: Not detected (required for Page Cache (enhanced mode) and Browser Cache)”.

Something not works good with mod_reqrite installed by Cpanel… have to check in depth about this.

Has W3TC given an error message saying that rewrites aren’t working? If not, do you have rewrites turned on? If so, do you have rewrite checking enabled? If you have both options enabled and you haven’t gotten an error message, you probably aren’t having an issue with rewrites.

Also to make sure mod_rewrite is in fact installed, create a file with phpinfo() in it. Never assume something is installed. Also, don’t leave this file around after using it.

One last thing. Do you have any of the debug info turned on. In my experience, disk enhanced caching doesn’t work with the debug info turned on as php has to be loaded to generate the output. Turn off all debug output and check the pgcache folder to see if cache files are being created as you surf your site.

Don’t forget to surf your site while logged out of your site. I’m pretty sure the default setup won’t cache if you are logged in. I use a separate browser to do it. (ie I develop in chrome and generate my cache in firefox.

Thanks for your reply haddow777, you can be sure that i researched very in depth into this issue.

Mod rewrite is installed, working, turned on and tested with a simple code:
.htaccess:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php

index.php:
<?php print 'mod_rewrite works!'; ?>

The output of the test works.
I have “Verify rewrite rules” option checked. Sometimes i get a message saying that “rewrite rules isnt working properly and that they are used with page cache….”.

I already checked my phpinfo() ouput and mod_rewrite is present and working as i said before.

I have the debug turned off, and pgcache folder contains new created files. And i′m surfing as “guest” (loged out user).

The weird thing is, if i enable “debug mode” i see in the ouput status “not cached”, and honestly having “disk cache enahced” enabled or disabled noy increase my site performance, the cpu load and speed is the same, since pages says “status: not cached”.

As you can see i dig deep on the issue to try to solve it, but the plugin author not gives any response, he should think that the plugin is perfect. I could read lots of posts with same issue of “disk enhaced not works”, and i′m parto of those users too.

Perhaps i will try to use, wp super cache or quick cache, because W3TC seems broken plugin and buggy.
