## CacheRoot

Syntax: CacheRoot <directory>
Default: None
Context: server config, virtual host
Override: Not applicable
Status: Base
Module: mod_proxy
Compatibility: CacheRoot is only available in Apache 1.1 and later.

Sets the name of the directory to contain cache files; this must be writable by the httpd server. (see the `User` directive).
Setting `CacheRoot` enables proxy cacheing; without defining a `CacheRoot`, proxy functionality will be available if `ProxyRequests` are set to `On`, but no cacheing will be available.
