My guess on this would be that Apache is caching the file and has only actually loaded it from disk once. Try stop/starting Apache and see if it has to reload the file to see if my guess is correct. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

If not, is it possible that there is a proxy server between you and the host running Apache? Perhaps a transparent proxy? There are not other servers and no proxies. The locally running apache logs successful requests for the files, but their atimes are not updated.

web-serving does not update a file's atime?
Hello! I tried to use stat(1) to see the last time a file was downloaded through Apache. To my surprise, all three dates displayed by stat are long ago, even though the web-server's log is showing downloads from a just a few hours back. The file-system used to be mounted noatime, but I turned that option off some time ago. If I read one of those files (with head(1) or file(1), for example), the atime is updated. But if Apache serves it out -- it is not... There is no caching in Apache either. Any ideas?
