Caching with mod_file_cache

Filed Under (Web) by jc on 01-03-2008

One of my co-workers today was working with mod_file_cache, and I thought I would put it in my blog. Customer had a lot of static files that were called a lot and wanted to reduce I/O wait without paying for a CDN. We thought mod_file_cache was the best solution.

The process is pretty straight forward and documented on apache docs so I will not post instructions, but let me know if you run into any problems. In a couple of weeks I will write a detailed post on how to use memcached for caching dynamic content. Below is the link from apache for mod_file_cache:
