Topic: cache issues, inconsistent, hard to replicate

I'm having a bit of an annoying caching issue, that's hard to replicate ... (it happens sometime, sometime it's fine, I havent figured out a safe way to replicate it)

When one click the [ New posts ] link on posts, it sometimes doesn't view the 'up to date' thread. Instead it only displays the original thread (the one with only 1 post). I haven't found out why this is happening, but I have upgraded from Debian Woody to Debian Sarge, and thus updated the PHP and apache, but the problems is still there ...
(PHP 4.1.2-7 & 4.3.10-15, Apache 1.3.26-0 & 1.3.33-6)

Also other users notice this on the forum, so I dont' think it's related to Firefox either ... (and here it doesn't happen either)

I'm guessing there's some headers that I need to add ... but where and what?

Any ideas?

Re: cache issues, inconsistent, hard to replicate

You're not running mod_cache or some proxy or something?

Re: cache issues, inconsistent, hard to replicate

nopes, no mod_cache (at least according to phpinfo wink)

mod_php4, mod_setenvif, mod_expires, mod_auth, mod_access, mod_rewrite, mod_alias, mod_userdir, mod_cgi, mod_dir, mod_autoindex, mod_status, mod_negotiation, mod_mime, mod_mime_magic, mod_log_config, mod_macro, mod_so, http_core

hmm... mod expires ... that one sounds like it could affect ... going to look wha tit does...
Yep probably that one ... messing with it ... Documentation ... will open up httpd.conf after I've eaten and see if it's set to some odd value for something ...


Edit:
was unused in the httpd.conf file, so probably some default value that might have interferred ... so I unloaded the module ... hopefully it'll work now ... thanks for the help smile
