Hi,
I'm trying desperately to disable the Varnish Cache, so I followed the instructions found here:

https://x10hosting.com/support/general/varnish-cache?from_search=13843420

and I modified the .htaccess file in the /public_html/ folder accordingly:

# $Id$
#
# This is used with Apache WebServers
#
# For this to work, you must include the parameter 'Options' to
# the AllowOverride configuration
#
# Example:
#
# <Directory "/usr/local/apache/htdocs">
# AllowOverride Options
# </Directory>
#
# 'All' with also work. (This configuration is in the
# apache/conf/httpd.conf file)

# The following makes adjustments to the SSL protocol for Internet
# Explorer browsers

#<IfModule mod_setenvif.c>
# <IfDefine SSL>
# SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" \
# nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \
# downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0
# </IfDefine>
#</IfModule>

# If Search Engine Friendly URLs do not work, try enabling the
# following Apache configuration parameter

# AcceptPathInfo On

# Fix certain PHP values
# (commented out by default to prevent errors occuring on certain
# servers)

# php_value session.use_trans_sid 0
# php_value register_globals 1

#Disable the Varnish Cache
Header set Cache-Control "max-age=0, private, no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate"

but it doesn't work: when I request a .css file I'm still getting this response header:

Age: 1030
Connection: keep-alive
Content-Length: 343
Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1

X-Cache: HIT
X-Cache-Hits: 19
X-Varnish: 25134032 25886859

to the request header:

Connection: keep-alive

from the GET:
http://lingerie.x10.bz/custom/stylesheet/home.css


PLEASE HELP!!!

Remember that requests have to go through Varnish, and it'll serve the cached version until that ages out. Once it requests a new copy from the server, that copy will have the no-cache header and will not be cached, but until then the old copy is cacheable.

Hi essellar,

it was exactly what happened: it took some time but now the all seems to work correctly.

Thank you for your reply.
