Purging comments not working

Is this happening on all sub sites, th main site, or everywhere? Do normal posts and all work and purge the main page on all sites? Have you tested with plugins off?

Multisite is a fairly new feature, and not as robustly tested as I’d like I’m afraid, but it should be okay… Also do you know if your host allows for varnish to be called with regex? (DreamHost does, but you also aren’t permitted multisite on their varnish box right now, so I can’t be sure for other hosts).

Yes it is happening in all sub sites, the main site is a summary with latest post with no comments allowed.

I cannot deactivate plugins because this is a client’s site and I cannot deactivate them now.

I am going to see it, this is a self managed host in AWS and it has the Apache+Varnish in a machine and the MySQL in another one.

Varnish is 3.0.2 and I am going to check if regex is working.

Thanks, I will follow this thread to keep you informed.

Hrm. Not being able to disable plugins makes it hard to debug.

Can you make a sub-page off the main site (without telling anyone ?? ) and open comments to see if that works?

Also can you list what plugins you’re using? Just the ones that are network wide, and active on ALL the sites having the problems.

Oh and what theme(s)!

Firstly, tell you that I am really grateful about your comments and your help :).

I haven’t answered before because we were updating Varnish from 3.0.3 to Varnish 3.0.5 to be sure this is not a bug from Varnish version.

I know, but surely I can modify the plugin and see when the purge is send and I see (using a mail sent) that the purge is call.

In the main page I have no comments template done, this is only an index.

I have tested it again step by step and the results are:
* I create a page and all works correctly page now appears in my session and in other PCs.
* I have submit a commment from a different PC, the comment doesn’t appear there but it appears in the PC with session initiated

Also can you list what plugins you’re using? Just the ones that are network wide, and active on ALL the sites having the problems.

They are some themes, really old but working and more or less standards.

I am going to continue debugging seeing your code, the action of comments is well received so the problem is in the cURL petition.

If you edit the page, or just hit update, does the comment show? I wonder it the comment isn’t triggering the purge… Also I pushed an update, but that shouldn’t impact you. It was for feeds mostly.

Mika,

I have just done a test and nothing it no makes update, so the problem is not the plugin, I see in the header of the HTTP petition the Varnish HIT.

If I use PURGE VARNISH it doesn’t work ??

I have just created a very simple PHP to test if the PURGE works and nothing:

<?php
$curl = curl_init("https://blogs.km77.com/");
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "PURGE");
curl_exec($curl);

It gives me a not allowed. I have to modify my VCL I suppose.

And yes, thanks again, free software (software libre for Spanish) is great thanks to people like you that gives a so good support ??

I understand a little Spanish ?? My French is better, but that isn’t saying much.

You may want to see if W3 Total Cache works. I know that it calls the purge in a slightly different way, that seems to be a little more flexible with more VCLs, and you can lock it down in Multisite so only the network admin can control it (basically hide it from sub sites).

After updating Varnish, I couldn’t modify VCL so after fixing this error, I have just modified the VCL and now with the purge allowed not only to 127.0.0.1 but also to localhost and to the domain name all works perfectly.

Thanks to this thread I have been able to understand that this was a problem of my configuration and not of this plugin.

I really appreciate all your help!

Thank you for explaining how you fixed it! That’s the ultimate cool ??
