Controlling the size of the cache used by mod_disk_cache in Apache 2.2.8

["Jeremy Jones" <Jeremy.Jones@xxxxxxxxx>]

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.
