Bug 57023

Try to set CacheSocache like this:

CacheSocache shmcb:/path/to/datafile(2048000) 

The number in braces in size of the cache in bytes.

Note that according to documentation, you should also be able to cache the files which are too big for shared memory cache into disk cache:

httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/en/mod/mod_cache_socache.html

Ok thank you.

Do you know how 'subcache_data_size' is calculated ?

And do you know if each subcache can contain more than one entity ?

I've tried the fall back configuration below :


        CacheMaxExpire 86400

        CacheRoot /var/tests/kache/apache_2.4/cache/

        CacheSocache shmcb
        CacheSocacheMaxSize 1000000

        CacheQuickHandler off

        CacheDirLevels 3
        CacheDirLength 1
        CacheMinFileSize 1

        <Location />
                CacheEnable socache
                CacheEnable disk
        </Location>


But when I have this message : AH00844: inserting socache entry larger (13945) than subcache data area (12280) , I supposed that the cache on disk will be used but it isn't.

And when I use "CacheEnable disk" alone, the cache on disk works :

Am I doing it wrong or is the fall back configuration not possible ?

See http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/httpd/trunk/modules/cache/mod_socache_shmcb.c?revision=1595426&view=markup#l338

You can also set loglevel to debug in order to get information logged (see link above at line 444)

Hi,

could you try http://svn.apache.org/r1629508
This increase the average size of "small object".

With this patch, subcache_data_size goes from 12280 to 64768.

Thank you for your help Christophe, but unfortunately I won't be able to test the patch right now (maybe in a few weeks).

I managed to increase the subcache_data_size with the info given by Jan : CacheSocache shmcb:/path/to/datafile(2048000) 


My problem now is with the fall back configuration because it seems that the CacheEnable directive is exclusive.

Using:
CacheSocache shmcb:/path/to/datafile(10485760)
I got a subcache_data_size of 61424 I needed.


Having "disk" enabled for / and "socache" for /*.svg I can see this kind of things for a file of 600 kB
```
mod_cache_socache.c(394): AH02347: URL 'http://localhost/webfont.svg?' body larger than limit, ignoring (143732 > 102400)
mod_cache.c(1332): AH00769: cache: Caching url: /webfont.svg
mod_cache.c(1338): AH00770: cache: Removing CACHE_REMOVE_URL filter.
mod_cache.c(1731): AH00777: cache: CACHE filter was added twice, or was added where the cache has been bypassed and will be ignored: /webfont.svg
mod_cache_disk.c(1350): AH00737: commit_entity: Headers and body for URL http://localhost/webfont.svg? cached.
```

I don't know if my configuration really requested to "cache twice", but the end result is what I'd expect: cache_disk relaying cache_socache

This 102400 seems hardcoded somewhere.

**but**
trying to access a 75 kB file (greater than subcache_data_size but lower than 102400), I get:

```
cache_storage.c(664): AH00698: cache: Key for entity /style.css?(null) is http://localhost/style.css?

```

cache_disk does *NOT* relay the socache (Apache 2.4.10)
(Although I understand it's not the main issue of this bug report)
