効果覿面!

- 注意
CacheDirLevels * CacheDirLength <= 20 で無いとエラーが発生する．

Syntax error on line XXX of /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/disk_cache.conf:
CacheDirLevels*CacheDirLength value must not be higher than 20

しばらく動作させると以下のエラーが発生し，閲覧が不可能になる場合がある．
apache を再起動するとおさまるように見えるが，原因不明．

[Wed Mar 01 08:06:10 2006] [error] [client XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX] Directory index forbidden by rule: /path/to/public_html/foo/
