Re: how to check caching is disabled?

[rahul gundecha <rahoolgundecha@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

thanks Joshua for helping, I really appreciate your instantaneous and correct solution. 

Just to point out confusion in the thread -

first time you replied -
"check for mod_cache, mod_file_cache, and similar modules. If they are turned off, then you don't likely have any caching going on."
my reply -
" There isn't any cache related entry in that file. 
So what's the default setting of apache server ?"
I was expecting the answer that without doing anything apart from 
normal installation of apache server, will there be caching ? and how to find
about it?

your reply -
"But in the default install you will not have any apache-level caching
 if mod_cache and mod_file_cache are both disabled."
now again we end up with same question, how do I know these things are disabled?

that's why I asked again. And then I got the correct answer.

" As long as mod_cache and mod_file_cache are not configured, there is no
caching in a default install of apache."

Anyways no hard feelings but just wanted to show lack of clarity in your answer.
Thanks for helping me, I really bombarded you with series of questions, still you answered them promptly.

thanks & regards,
-Rahul

I think I've already said this twice, but here goes a third time: As
long as mod_cache and mod_file_cache are not configured, there is no
caching in a default install of apache.
