Without the error message from WWWOFFLE it is difficult to know what
the problem is.

It might do, but what is different about this compared to what you
have already done?
The problem might be one with permissions. It might be that the
WWWOFFLE server is not allowed to write to the cache when you are
online. This would give a fatal error message. You should make sure
that the files are owned by the user and group that are in the
'run-uid' and 'run-gid' options in the configuration file.
