Radiant maintains its own page cache directory, which is typically  
RADIANT\_PROJECT/cache. Don’t change it and you’ll be fine.

Sorry to be dense, but I need to disable the radiant page cache because  
I’m trying to display something from the session on a page. I have  
successfully written a radius tag (whoopee!) which can display things  
from the session, but my Page.process() method isn’t being called  
because I think my page is cached.

How do I disable the radiant cache without erasing my public directory?

Thanks for the reply.

Hmm doesn’t seem to be working. Page.process() still isn’t being  
called.

Does it matter where in environment.rb I put it? I don’t understand  
environment.rb very well yet.

Ah, I initially misunderstood. Put this in your config/environment.rb:

ResponseCache.instance.perform\_caching = false

At the bottom would be best. Also, be sure to clear your cache/  
directory.
