Website requesting missing minified css/js files causes complete failure

Hi,

When you say purge the caches, which cache you purged ? did you purge all ?

purge all should clean up both page cache and CSS/JS cache , and generates new file with new names

please try this :

1. disable LSCWP

2. restart OLS

3. check if everything is fine

4. now enable LSCWP

5. restart OLS after restart

6. check again if everything is fine.

Best regards,

Hello,

Thank you for your reply.
Sadly, I do not know how and why, but the website is broken even after deleting LS Cache plugin and restarting everything. Really frustrating. I am now downloading LS Cache 2.9.9.2 to test if this can fix the problem.

Hi,

You mean even you disabled LSCWP, you still seeing /wp-content/litespeed/cssjs/xxxxx request ?

check the main request’s header , see if you still seeing “x-litespeed-cache: hit”

Best regards,

Hi,

Yes, I have disabled and deleted everything LSCWP related and still seeing the requests (I have hidden my domain/IP). This is in incognito mode with developers tools and cache disabled:

I have currently uploaded LSCWP 2.9.9.2, issued a ‘Empty Entire Cache’, restarted OLS and currently everything is back to normal.
I believe this was cached somewhere and it was cached badly. I made a dump of my database and searched for the filenames, but nothing found there. Any idea what could be causing it? I had this issue with 404 on one more website on another OLS server, but there disabling LSCWP fixed the issue.

Hi,

But did you see x-litespeed-cache: hit header when you get that error ?

by design , when LSCWP deactivates , it should also purge the cache , I was thinking it might not have done that properly , as result , you are still viewing the cached page with unexisting files.

Best regards,

Hi,

I have sent you the full request/response headers. This is after I have already disabled and deleted LSCWP 3.0.8.5.

For the sake of testing and finding what is causing this, I can once again update to 3.0.8.5 and see what happens if you want to.
Are you caching something new with the ‘domain key’ feature on your servers? Maybe this is the problem?

Hi,

No , the one you provided is request to JS file , not the main request, by main request as I mean that your site URL , not static resources’ request.

Best regards,

Hello,

I have installed 3.0.8.5 and managed to break it again. I think this is connected with browser cache and custom headers. I have deleted all custom headers, then purged cache and now seeing 404 errors again.

As you suggested, even after deactivating LSCWP, I still get x-litespeed-cache: hit header. Why is this and how can I fix it?

EDIT:

I have again added custom headers as advised here: https://openlitespeed.org/kb/how-to-set-up-custom-headers/ but using wp-content/litespeed/cssjs/ as URI.
This did not fix the problem. The only thing that fixed it was to again install version 2.9.9.2 and purge caches from there. I believe v3.0.8.5 is not clearing some caches properly on OLS, even after the plugin is deleted.

Hi,

Could you please join our Slack ?

I will need more information about it.

Best regards,

I am having similar issues,I really want to use this plug in so I would like to know what I need to do to fix my very similar issues.

Thanks.

I have the same issue on multiple sites since upgrading to Litespeed cache v3.

In my case, the server is Openlitespeed.

I solved my problem with the help of the very friendly and helpful guys at LiteSpeed Technologies Tech Support here:

I solved it by going to the terminal and running these commands:

systemctl restart lsws
rm -rf /usr/local/lsws/cachedata/*

I hope that helps!
