Topic: Server moved, now got Cache problems

[Davidb]

Last week our web host moved us to a new server and there were quite a few teething problems. All are sorted now, but the remaining one is that my weather jpegs seem to be getting "stuck"  part of the time.

example "broadcast" here should be within 10 minutes of GMT in UK daytime hours:



but on the wordpress web page it can be hours earlier.: http://glassonsailing.co.uk/wp/home/weather/

It was fine until the move, but whenever I look at the server via Filezilla, it is bang up to date.

I suspect wordpress is the culprit, but the old web page:  http://www.glassonsailing.co.uk/weather.html   is sometimes an old jpeg as well.

Confused.

Have you tried IPCONFG /FLUSHDNS at the command prompt?

[ConligWX]

Are you on an Apache Server? is the .htaccess file caching jpegs?

[saratogaWX]

It's likely that WordPress is doing the caching .. use the dashboard in WP to turn off caching there.

[Davidb]

thanks for replies. The problem is on any computer, not just my own, but I shall try the IPCONFG /FLUSHDNS anyway.

Not sure about catching jpegs, I have opened .htacess in the public html folder and all that is in there is
"RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?glassonsailing\.co.uk$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ http://www.glassonsailing.co.uk/wp [R=302,L]"

which redirects the homepage.

I'll have a look at wordpress now, thanks.

In WP dashboard under "Toolset" then in "settings"   I found:

"Add resized images to the media library
Types will automatically add the resized images as attachments to the media library.
Allow resizing of remote images
Types will try to scale remote images.
Images caching

Invalidate cached images that are more than  hours old.
Clear Cached Images Clear Outdated Cached Images"

so cleared cached images, but no change. When I look at our server, the broadast.jpg is still bang up to date again

I'll have a look at VWS and see if has logged any errors

mmm

[Davidb]

yes there were,  Its showing errors on every transfer, but still the required ones are getting through:

Maybe you don't have a ./docs/ directory in your public_html (document root) directory?

Use the FTP browser in VWS to view where your FTP credentials land in your website and adjust the target /docs/ to maybe include the remaining directories shown in the VWS display.

[Davidb]

no I don't have a docs directory.

when I browse on VWS it says current directory   is     /

and under directory  just   ..   

I am not able to change directory, it says requesting directory change.............

and that is all
