I have a problem with ez Publish, in that it seems incapable of wiping the cache whenever a new story is published. The only way I can get new stories to appear on the site is by manually wiping the ez/var/<siteaccess>/cache folder. This, as you can imagine, is highly tedious, and I can't expect my client to do that. It's also annoying to have to wipe the entire cache just to test a template change. Clicking the cache clearing buttons in the admin panel doesn't work, even though it reports that caches were cleared successfully. I've CHMODed the ez/var/<siteaccess> folder to 777 as a troubleshooting measure, but it doesn't work. System information is below. Anyone got any pointers? Thanks much.

Weeel, you do have options :), you can disable various levels of the cache system. Alternately you can refer to the clear cache script which can quickly clear the cache (per subsystem) quickly. [kracker@konfines]# clearcache.sh --help
Usage: bin/shell/clearcache.sh [options]
Options: -h
--help This message
--var-subdir=DIR Use this subdirectory under var as root
--clear-image Remove image cache
--clear-content Remove content cache(default)
--clear-ini Remove ini file cache
--clear-codepage Remove codepages cache
--clear-tpl Remove template cache
--clear-tpl-override Remove template override cache
--clear-tpl-block Remove template-block cache
--clear-ts Remove translation cache
--clear-expiry Remove expiry cache
--clear-urlalias Remove url alias cache
--clear-sortkey Remove sort key cache
--clear-classidentifiers Remove class identifier cache
--clear-rss Remove RSS cache
--clear-transformations Remove character transformation cache
--clear-all Remove all above caches
Example:
bin/shell/clearcache.sh --clear-image --clear-tpl
You should try to clear all the cache for your specific siteaccess like this: bin/shell/clearcache.sh --var-subdir=<siteaccess> --clear-all
or just genericly for everything bin/shell/clearcache.sh --clear-all

Hi Does your new stories show up if you clear the "content" cache in the admin interface after you have published a new story? Then you need to add your "ast" siteaccess to the AvailableSiteDesignList in content.ini http://www.ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/faq/general/content_does_not_appear_in_admin_after_publish

I don't have to clear any caches to get new articles to show up in the admin interface. They show up automatically. But to get them to show up on the actual user site, I have to wipe the var/<siteaccess>/cache folder. Just to be clear, are you saying I should edit settings/content.ini, or settings/siteaccess/<siteaccess>/content.ini.append.php? And just what does AvailableSiteDesignList do? There doesn't seem to be much documentation on it. Thanks in advance. :)

You should _never_ change the settings in settings/*.ini.. Allways change or add it in the settings/siteaccess/<siteaccess>/*ini.append.php or in settings/override/*.ini.append.php You need to add your sitedesign (ast?) to the content.ini.append.php in your administrator siteaccess. This is because it needs to know which siteaccesses are available, and which caches need to be cleared. The inifiles are much better documented in the new and upcomming documentation :-)

I have similar caching problems with eZ 3.6 (after upgrade)
1. AlwaysUpdateArray from static cache is not working for me 2. Not all view caches are refreshed, for example I have following folder tree:
-Folder 1
--Folder 2
---Article
On Folder 1 view I'm listing all articles from all subfolders (Folder 2 etc.) After any change in Article, Folder 1 is not updated, only Folder 2 and Article is refreshed, I need to use "Clear content caches" button to refresh all views 3. Removing object doesn't remove it from static cache If I remember correctly, point 1 and 2 was working in eZ 3.5 (there was no settings changes after upgrade). Any ideas? Thanks for help!

Kristian, I did what you said, but the problem still persists. I hit the "Clear All Caches" button, but the cache files remain in the var/ast/ folder.

Hi there, I'm having very similar problems with Ver 3.5, particularly with template overrides and the like, it's very frustrating having to clear cache manually every time I make the slightest change. The admin cache manager says its clear but I check the cache and nothing has been deleted. Also the admin page views seem to be heavily cached, in Content Structure for instance, the tool bar across the top (preview, details, translations etc.) when I select preview (or any other) the page reloads but nothing changes, I then have to clear all caches manually and refresh the page to get the preview pane to show up, and this is consistent across the entire admin interface. Makes managing the site very cumbersome and I don’t think my client will be very happy. Not what I expected from a paid professional licence at all.
Pardon me while I burst into flames...

Try the following checklist Log in as the root user and set permissions 777 to all of the var directory
su
*type root password*
cd /path/to/your/ezpublish/installation
chmod -R 777 var
Go to administration interface, Setup, ini settings, choose content.ini, Choose siteaccess as written below:
For user siteaccess (ast): Check in [VersionView]group that AvailableSiteDesignList contains you user design.
For administration siteaccess:
Check in [VersionView]group that AvailableSiteDesignList contains you user design.
Check file site.ini.
Verify that [FileSettings] VarDir is the same for both user and administration siteaccesses Nathan: Everytime you add a new template to the system you need to clear the template+content cache to make eZpublish aware of the new templates.

Hi Kristian, thankyou for your advice, I have followed the steps as you mentioned and made any necessary changes but to no avail. The cache still will not clear through the Admin interface, even though it says it has, using fine grained control will not clear it either. As far as clearing the template+content cache with every change I am aware of this, problem is obviously the cache will not clear and must be cleared manually. Overall I'm very happy with the power and flexibility of EZP, but this issue is placing a considerable burden on my deadline and it's fast becoming a very costly exercise. Is there anything else that may help me to overcome this problem?

Like Nathan, I followed the checklist, but it still doesn't wipe the cache. :(

Hmm.. does it work if you set
ViewCaching=disabled
in [ContentSettings] of settings/siteaccess/(insert name of your user siteaccess)/site.ini.append.php ? Verify that it has been set, by the administration interface..

No, ViewChaching is already disabled. Anything else? This is costing me a small fortune!!!

Hi Nathan, Try with disabled SmartViewCache. Look in to viewcache.ini.append.php files for both siteaccess and set SmartCacheClear=disable. What DebugOutput says? Try enable it. You should have ViewCaching=enabled for admin interface. This a reason that your tabs (translation, details, etc) not working correct

My admin interface tabs are now working correctly with ViewCaching=enabled for the admin siteaccess. However I still see no change when trying to clear the cache via admin with the SmartCacheClear=disable on both siteaccesses. What if anything should I try next?

When you publishing new content, your cache is cleared and new content appears in your website? Do you have any errors in DebugOutput? Does your PHP work in safe_mode? I suppose configuration problem. All problems with cache pregenartion were fixed in 3.5.2 release. I can reporduce your error only when are wrong permissions set to var directory... You can install plain 3.5.3 version and check if problem still exists.

</i>
---
Actually my content does not appear at all...
Reference: http://ez.no/community/forum/setup_design/content_won_t_display_using_module_result_content
<i>
Do you have any errors in DebugOutput?
</i>
---
Yes, I have a warning as you can see in above forum post link that states:- <b>Warning: eZTemplate</b> No template could be loaded for "node/view/full.tpl" using resource "design"
<i>
Does your PHP work in safe_mode?
</i>
--- Yes. What could this tell me though?
<i> I suppose configuration problem. All problems with cache pregenartion were fixed in 3.5.2 release. I can reporduce your error only when are wrong permissions set to var directory...

</i> --- Well legally I can't install the new version as the version 3.5.0 I have was purchased on professional licence with no option to upgrade. So unless Ez Systems agree to this I am stuck with this version. Thankyou for your suggestions though, hopefully there will be a solution somewhere, as I said this is becoming very costly. Cheers.

Nathan, upload small PHP script. info.php for example with
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
Than run this script via web-browser. If you will have enabled safe_mode, ask administrator about disable it for your eZ publish root directory.

Wow that was quick... Yes I have looked at EZ support options but it's outside my budjet, I am however seeking outside support from Martin Bauer at the moment. I'll check PHP info now thanks.

Ok Lukasz, I may have missunderstood you when you asked: <i>Does your PHP work in safe_mode?</i> Yes it does work in safe mode, but safe mode is off. Sorry I've just got to get around the slight language barier. If you had said <b>is</b> your PHP running in safe mode? I would have said no... So safe mode is off at the moment.
