Help in Apache cache setup

Title: Message

I am new to Linux. I installed Redhat 8.0 and selected to install Apache. I understand that this has the option to work as a proxy server with or without caching. (Although I have no idea why to use Squid instead of Apache.)

 

I edited the httpd.conf to enable the proxy server. That worked fine. Then I removed the comments to enable the cache but now I get an error message on all the "Cache" entries when I start Apache.

 

BTW, the documentation on http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-8.0-Manual/ref-guide/s1-apache-config.html says that the default for the CacheRoot is /var/cache/httpd while the actual line in the conf file gives a different path.

 

Do I need to run some initialization step to create cache folders or something?
