Hi,
I was trying the module on my test site running on drupal 5.1. I did exactly as suggested ie changed the settings.php with

 $conf = array(
      'page_cache_fastpath' => 1,
      'cache_inc' => 'modules/Contrib/fastpath_fscache/cache.fs.inc',
      'file_cache' => '/tmp',
    );

and enabled the module

But I cant see any page caching option or any kind of new option related to the module under the admin section.

Is there something I am missing?

Also can someone please elaborate in the difference between this module and the boost module

it is the regular page cache preference. nothing new.

It seems I can only get normal caching with it as the aggressive caching is not compatible with it?
Is that right

i haven't tested with aggressive ... that compatibility notice is a bit misleading. it could work. it could not.

There's no reason that aggressive caching shouldn't work (and it does appear to just fine in my sandbox). Note that garbage collection moves to be entirely cron based at that point, however, as the _exit hook is skipped.

If you're having problems with aggressive caching, please open a new issue and describe the problem in as much detail as you can.

It was just a question as I dont use aggressive caching on my site. Because the performance section mentioned that fastpath_fscache is not compatible with aggressive caching, I just wanted to check as well as inform you.

Do you knw what difference there is between this module and the boost module?

boost has the advantage that it serves cache pages directly from apache without any php at all. so it scales even better ... the downside to boost is that it is a but more complex.
