MaxFileCacheContentSize
MaxFileCacheContentSize
Syntax:
MaxFileCacheContentSize <num_kilobytes>
where [num_kilobytes] specifies the number of kilobytes (KB), where 1 KB equals 1024
bytes.
Description:
Use the MaxFileCacheContentSize directive to specify the maximum file content
length allowed in a file cache entry. When this directive is present in a
configuration file, files with a content length less than or equal to [num_kilobytes]
are cached entirely in the server's file cache. For files with a content length greater
than [num_kilobytes], only file opens and file stats are cached. The actual file
content is accessed directly from disk.
MaxFileCacheContentSize accepts a value from 0 (zero) to 50KB (50 x 1024 bytes).
Specifying a value of 0 (zero) in the MaxFileCacheContentSize directive disables
file content caching.
Default:
When no MaxFileCacheContentSize directive is present, the server assumes a value
of 10 (10KB).
Example:
MaxFileCacheContentSize 30
Both MaxFileCacheEntries and MaxFileCacheContentSize determine the maximum file
cache size. For example, if MaxFileCacheEntries is set to 3000 and
MaxFileCacheContentSize is set to 30, then the maximum capacity for the file cache is
90MB. Compaq recommends a survey of all static files residing on the web site as well
as the physical memory configuration. Performance may be hindered if the iTP Secure
WebServer consumes too much physical memory and causes a high number of page
faults. A tuning process may be required to determine optimal settings for these
directives.
