How to disable cache of Apache?

Question

I put only index.html in /var/www/html. The page doesn't update after I changed the contents of index.html and reload.

I already disable cache_module in httpd.conf like this below.

# LoadModule cache_module modules/mod_cache.so
# LoadModule disk_cache_module modules/mod_disk_cache.so

Where is httpd.conf? I can't find it anywhere in /etc or /var on Ubuntu. — Aaron Franke

if you are using htaccess then you can do like

#Initialize mod_rewrite
RewriteEngine On
<FilesMatch "\.(html|htm|js|css)$">
  FileETag None
  <IfModule mod_headers.c>
    Header unset ETag
    Header set Cache-Control "max-age=0, no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate"
    Header set Pragma "no-cache"
    Header set Expires "Wed, 12 Jan 1980 05:00:00 GMT"
  </IfModule>
</FilesMatch>

Thank you! But where do I put this settings? I put it the end of httpd.conf and nothing changed..

create a .htaccess file under root directory where you have uploaded your files in server and put above lines inside .htaccess file

I did that but the result is not change. I also restarted apache.

check if you have mod_rewrite enable in the server with the hosting company. also check I have edited answer above

That .htaccess does not work for me. Also, my apache2.conf file did not contain EnableSendfile on, but I added EnableSendfile off and it doesn't work, it's still caching.
