I've been using polipo for many years, but recently noticed that its
cache was empty (as in literally so: the /var/cache/polipo directory is
clean as a whistle).
# grep '^[^#]' /etc/polipo/config
localDocumentRoot=""
proxyAddress=0.0.0.0
proxyName=myproxy
censorReferer=maybe
relaxTransparency=maybe
diskCacheRoot=/var/cache/polipo
maxDiskCacheEntrySize=-1
diskCacheUnlinkTime=10000000
diskCacheTruncateTime=10000000
dnsUseGethostbyname = yes
#
When I start polipo by hand it just tells me:
Established listening socket on port 8123.
There's nothing unusual in the log file either. I tried to change
diskCacheRoot to a dummy location that doesn't exist, and it did give me
an error, so it seems it does pay attention to diskCacheRoot.
I temporarily set disableIndex and disableDirectoryList to false but
proxy:8123/polipo/index shows me an empty page (save for the title),
while proxy:8123/polipo/index does correctly how me the servers
I've contacted.
This is on a Debian testing machine. dpkg tells me:
ii polipo 1.1.1-5 armhf lightweight, caching web proxy
I suspect that this has been going on for a few months now (probably
ever since I moved my proxy to this new machine, since I'd otherwise
expect the disk cache to still hold some left over).

PS: Here's a sample output, while running as root that time (usually it
runs as user "proxy")
# /usr/bin/polipo daemonise=false logSyslog=false logFile= logLevel=0xff
