This can't be 100% true.. because as per my test down below. I changed info
in the PHP test file and hit the normal refresh and gained the new info...
my problem server shows the same info after hitting a normal refresh..

>Have you looked at the following lines in the httpd.conf?:
Yes and they are all hashed out.. But so is my home apache server which
works fine.. can't figure this out...




Here is what my problematic server page has for meta tags:
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Cache-Control" CONTENT="no-cache, must-revalidate">

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" CONTENT="0">

----test-----

Now here's the weird part. I go to my home apache server and create a simple
page

<? print "12345"; ?>

I browse this page and I see 12345 on the screen. I now change the code on
the file to say "54321" and save it.

I hit the normal refresh button and it now shows "54321" as expected.
Obviously it fetched the page again and not local cache.



This does not work on my apache server at work. It caches the infomation
whereas the home machine shows the new info even though I have no meta tags
in the page.. just a simple print command in PHP....
