[users@httpd] Controlling the size of the cache used by mod_disk_cache in Apache 2.2.8

[Jeremy Jones <Je...@s1now.com>]

Hi,
 
Apache 2.2.8 on Linux.
 
Is there a directive anywhere to allow me to control the size of the
cache used by mod_disk_cache?
 
>From httpd.conf
 
 
    # Apache 2 caching
    #
    <IfModule mod_cache.c>
    <IfModule mod_mem_cache.c>
    <IfModule mod_disk_cache.c>
        CacheRoot /usr/local/apache-common/proxy-80
        CacheEnable disk /images
        CacheIgnoreNoLastMod     On
        CacheDefaultExpire      600
        CacheMaxExpire         3600
        CacheDirLevels            3
        CacheDirLength            6
    </IfModule>
    </IfModule>
    </IfModule>

 
 
but my cache directory is growing and growing. I see MCacheSize but
that's only for Apache's memory cache, not the disk one.
 
Do I need to stop & start Apache & clear out the cache via cron, or is
it just controlled indirectly via the cachemaxexpire directive or ?
 
Many thanks.

Use htcacheclean from cron or in its daemon mode. You don't need to
stop and start apache to run it.
