I have a windows shared hosting on which I have deployed my wordpress blog. Now to icrese my page speed I am trying to cached few resources using W3C Total Cache

While trying to activate the plugin I am getting the following error:


E:inetpubvhostssubhendu.infohttpdocsblog/wp-content/dbcache could not be created, please run following command:
chmod 777 E:inetpubvhostssubhendu.infohttpdocsblog/wp-content
then Retry


I tried creating few directories using FTP but realized it wont be of any use as caching files also can not be placed dynamically.

I tried changing the chmod to 777 using FileZilla but getting the error:
500 'SITE CHMOD 777 wp-content': command not understood mostly because this is a windows hosting. Again I do not have to shell access to my server , I have to everything using FTP.

If there is no other way and I have to ask my hosting provider for support what shall I ask him? Does he need to grant RW permisiion to any specific users?

Most shared hosting providers have a control panel. Most control panels allow you to change file permissions through some sort of file manager. Windows uses a different way of doing permissions to Unix servers, so you may need to give read/write permission to a user called IUSR_machinename for Wordpress to work properly.

For Plesk it's: Websites & Domains > File Manager > Folder Name > Click on The Lock Symbol
