Maybe you messed up the permissions of the CONFIG files so your changed setting just cannot be read?
Try this: sudo -u apt-cacher-ng apt-cacher-ng debug=7 foreground=1 port=31111 And watch the messages. If there is still the old setting visible at the end, add "strace -o /tmp/acng.log" between apt-cacher-ng's and attach acng.log here. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1279021 Title: CacheDir setting ignored To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt-cacher-ng/+bug/1279021/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
