CF cache purged, sessions table purged

The purge didn't help. As soon as I went to the main forum index I was logged in as someone else. The time is also way off.

Seems to be a host firewall caching issue causing the problems. Hopefully fixing that will get the site back to normal. Not sure if you've seen my latest emails or not, Matt, but I think I found the issue, but I can't fix it without ftp access (which I prefer not to have). Maybe a contributor badge, if that seems fitting?

Any problems now?

Post by **gnalan** » 25 Nov 2020, 16:05

So far it seems to be ok.

Ok good. That's when I set CF cache to "off". That'll expire in a couple hours, then a new rule should kick in, which is

Code: Select all

don't cache https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums/*

That's the real test.

You may have noticed in the last 1-2 hours some longer pageload times. That's because the cache was bypassing, making all calls hit the MVS server, html, images, css, js, etc.

A couple of times. Most of the day I've been trying to help you as much as I could, and researching what could be the main issue causing the other issues. Been a long day for me, so I can only imagine how much time you've been putting into fixing things.

Changed to

Code: Select all

don't cache https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums/*.php

Running without caching is brutal. I want to cache images and miscellaneous files. Just not pages, which here at the MVS forums, have a .php extension.

Won't that run your bandwidth up, and site costs?

MVS is on a Google Cloud Computing Services virtual machine (Linux - Debian) with 2 or 4 cores (I forget) and 17GB memory. Bandwidth they don't charge for in this instance.

But the server is much busier without caching, so pageload times suffer https://gtmetrix.com/reports/www.matthe ... /KddoCcY2/

In another hour or so the cache will resume, and the real test will begin.
