Dispatcher not caching pages

[Keerthi987]

I have setup dispatcher in my local but the pages I viewed are not getting cached inside htdocs.I changed docroot location to htddocs and made necessary changes in dispatcher.any file also but still not able to cache pages.

I can see the pages accessed in access.log file but under docroot the pages are not getting cached.

Switch the dispatcher log to DEBUG level, then hit a page and check the dispatcher.log.

The log will clearly tell you why your pages are not being cached (why the files are not created in that directory), I suspect you could have some permission issue with the folder where the cache files are trying to be created.

I changed the log to debug log but after hitting the page nothing is showing in the debug log.

docroot folder is inside documents so it has permission to created folders and files.

Did you restart Apache after changing the log level? If you are not seeing extra information in the logs means your configuration didn't take place.d 

You should see something like this: (Be aware that the log you need to check is dispatcher.log file)
