MaxFileCacheContentSize
To disable file opens caching, the CacheTime directive must be set to 0.
Default:
When no MaxFileCacheEntries directive is present, the server allows 2000
entries in the file cache.
Example:
MaxFileCacheEntries 5000
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. HP 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.
