Subject: Re: Cache not being flushed
It is normal that the cache grows beyond the limit set in the
configuration file as the directiry structure taks some space as well.
However, this can't justify your problem.
I think that the problem is the following lines:
> # Remove unwanted cached files at 3 am each day (garbage collection).
> Gc On
> GcDailyGc 3.00 <------
This is _not_ a valid time specification (which you can see when you
run the server in verbose mode). The format should be something like
GCdailyGC 3:00
----^
The server then defaults to not do any daily garbage collection at all
- which of course is not an optimal solution, and I will change this in
the next release.
