RE: [phplib] Caching of sites From: Steven Reed (steven <email protected>)

I had this problem in PHPlib and fixed it with the by changing the following
settings in session.inc

var $allowcache = "private"; ## Set this to 'private' to allow private
                                              ## caching; set this to 'public' to
allow
                                              ## public caching; set this to 'no'
to
                                              ## never cache the page.
var $allowcache_expire = 1; ##1440; ## If you allowcache, data
expires in this
                                              ## many minutes.

To :

var $allowcache = "no"; ## Set this to 'private' to allow private
                                              ## caching; set this to 'public' to
allow
                                              ## public caching; set this to 'no'
to
                                              ## never cache the page.
var $allowcache_expire = 0; ##1440; ## If you allowcache, data
expires in this
                                              ## many minutes.

Pretty straight forward once I found the right setting to change.
