<h3>Summary</h3>

    <p><code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_disk_cache.html">mod_disk_cache</a></code> implements a disk based storage
    manager. It is primarily of use in conjunction with
    <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_cache.html">mod_cache</a></code>.</p>

    <p>Content is stored in and retrieved from the cache using URI based
    keys. Content with access protection is not cached.</p>

    <p><code class="program"><a href="../programs/htcacheclean.html">htcacheclean</a></code> can be used to maintain the cache
       size at a maximum level.</p>

    <div class="note"><h3>Note:</h3>
      <p><code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_disk_cache.html">mod_disk_cache</a></code> requires the services of
      <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_cache.html">mod_cache</a></code>.</p>
    </div>
    <div class="note"><h3>Note:</h3>
      <p><code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_disk_cache.html">mod_disk_cache</a></code> uses the sendfile feature to
      serve files from the cache when supported by the platform, and
      when enabled with <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#enablesendfile">EnableSendfile</a></code>.
      However, per-directory and .htaccess configuration of
      <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#enablesendfile">EnableSendfile</a></code> are ignored by
      <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_disk_cache.html">mod_disk_cache</a></code> as the corresponding settings are not
      available to the module when a request is being served from the
      cache.</p>

    <p>The <code class="directive">CacheDirLength</code> directive sets the number
    of characters for each subdirectory name in the cache hierarchy. It can
    be used in conjunction with <code class="directive">CacheDirLevels</code> to

    <p>A high value for <code class="directive">CacheDirLength</code> combined

    <p>The <code class="directive">CacheRoot</code> directive defines the name of
    the directory on the disk to contain cache files. If the <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_disk_cache.html">mod_disk_cache</a></code> module has been loaded or compiled in to the
    Apache server, this directive <em>must</em> be defined. Failing to
    provide a value for <code class="directive">CacheRoot</code> will result in
    a configuration file processing error. The <code class="directive"><a href="#cachedirlevels">CacheDirLevels</a></code> and <code class="directive"><a href="#cachedirlength">CacheDirLength</a></code> directives define
    the structure of the directories under the specified root directory.</p>
