 Posted: Tue Aug 23, 2005 1:46 pm Post subject: Aliased directories not updating? |
 |
|
I run a wiki using the fabulous Aprelium Abyss server. Fabulous, I say.
I have an aliased directory so that the real dir:
e:\data\system\wiki\
can be accessed with
http://address/wiki/, making the URL a little easier to remember.
It works great, and has for months.
I'm tweaking the CSS files for the wiki and it's not working for me at all. If I access the wiki with the alias /wiki/ the new CSS files have no effect. If I access it with the actual path /system/wiki/ it works fine.
Having a look at the code for each URL reveals the only thing changing is the presence of /system/ in the URL to the CSS files, so it's not as if it's looking in a different place.
Does Abyss cache the files when they're aliased, or is something more sinister going on?
EDIT
Nope, it's my ISP. They use SQUID to cache the webpages, and squid - apparently - can't be bothered to update the CSS files.
What a PITA. =) |

Sometimes you have to empty the web browser's cache.
IE: using Ctrl+F5
FireFox: -> Tools -> Options -> Privacy -> Click "Clear All" button (I don't know the shortcut)

| It's not the browser, but thanks. It's the ISP. |

Yes. This is a problem with SQUID caches. We recommend using versionned file names. For example start with style-10.css. Then if you change it, link your files to style-11.css and rename the CSS file accordingly. This will force the cache to get the new version.

Would a no-cache header work with Squid?
(All the proxies I knew that used it have since gone down.)

You'll have to use these headers to force a "no cache" policy:
| Code: |
Cache-Control: no-cache
Pragma: no-cache
