[users@httpd] Prefilled forms

[b b <he...@yahoo.com>]

Greetings,
 I have recently installed apache/php on linux
(again). When I fillout a form, click submit and then
click back, the data that I attempted to submit
doesn't show, instead the form is blank. This only
happens with forms coming out of my apache servers (so
it can't be a browser setting). When I send this email
I could hit back and actually see the text I am typing
right now. On forms off my server if I click back I
see empty forms.

 Could have to do with the following portion of the
httpd.conf:
   # To enable the cache as well, edit and uncomment
the following lines:
    # (no cacheing without CacheRoot)
    #
    # CacheRoot "/usr/local/apache/proxy"
    #CacheSize 5
    #CacheGcInterval 4
    #CacheMaxExpire 24
    #CacheLastModifiedFactor 0.1
    #CacheDefaultExpire 1
#    NoCache a-domain.com another-domain.edu

Apache is a web server, it just serves the pages. It doesn't care 
what's in the pages (well... MIME magic stuff cares, but it only 
reads part of the content, it doesn't write it).

Highly unlikely.

Only if you use dynamic content without headers telling the cache not 
to cache. And only if the cache is actually enabled, wich it isn't in 
the conf you showed.
