[opencms-dev] Opencms not updating in online mode

[chan fook mun]

Hi Manfred,
 
Thanks for your suggestion. Actually before I shut down tomcat and clear its work folder, I have gone into the Cache Administration to clear the flex cache, core cache, image cache and jsp repository. I also cleared the client' s browser cache and history.
 
You are right. I have HTTP Apache before it is routed to tomcat. I will try to find out more on Apache caching. Thanks.

Hi All,
 
I have uploaded a later copy of a file and the filename remains as it is before the upload. I am able to see the updated file in the offline mode. However when I published the file, the file seen in the online mode is the old copy.
 
I stopped tomcat and clear the cache in the work folder but the file copy still reflects the old one.
 
The only way is to rename the filename and the change takes effect. Anyone has encountered similar problems before and likes to offer some suggestions? Thanks.
Hi,
are you sure that your problem is a problem of opencms and not one of your browser or perhaps proxy-related?

The problem seems to be strongly cache-related, but there might be several caches involved in the delivery of the file.
Besides the tomcat internal caching of classes there is the flexcache of opencms. If you use a combination of apache and tomcat on your server, then apache might be configured as a caching proxy. The next step on the way to your browser might be some transparent proxy of your internet provider (in the case you access your server via the internet). And as a last cache, your browser may contain several caches for speed optimization).

I'd suggest you to have a closer look at the cache settings for the file type you are using. 

Regards,
Manfred
