Static cache setup

Follow these steps to setup static caching:

1. Create a cache directory (e.g. 'static_cache') in your public webroot and CHMOD to 777 (or CHOWN to the user PHP runs as).

2. Set 'stash_static_basepath' to the full path of your newly created cache directory in your config.

3. Set 'stash_static_url' to the absolute or root-relative URL of the cache directory in your config.

4. Set 'stash_static_cache_enabled' to TRUE in your config.

5. If you are using Mustash, visit the 'Stash cache rewrite rules' page in Settings to view an auto-generated htaccess file that you can copy and paste into your public webroot. Alternatively, edit the .htaccess file below with the path and url to your static cache directory, and save it in your public webroot. Replace '[site_id]' with the id of your site. If you are using MSM, create an .htaccess file for each site and save it in the site's directory.
