WP Super Cache and permissions warning

  • On the WP Super Cache page there is a warning in red that says:

    Warning! /home/AccountName/public_html/wp-content is writeable!

    I an running 775 permissions with AccountUserName as the user and apache as the group.

    Doesn’t the wp-content directory need to be writeable by apache?

    How can I remove the error?

  • It’s generally a bad idea if the web server can write to that directory but it looks like you can’t change that. Ignore the error message. ??

    If the server cannot write to that directory then how are uploads and theme additions handled? What account is WP using to do these functions?

    Uploads go in a different directory. Themes are uploaded using your ftp login, which should normally be a completely different user to the user that runs the webserver.
