I have recently migrated an existing site into a fresh BOA platform. The problem I am facing is that the cache for the anonymous users is never cleaned, when new content is added. The anonymous user can only see new content by adding ?nocache=1 at the URL. But otherwise cache is not regenerated neither by drush cc all.

Given that this happens when boost is disabled, I conclude that this is an issue with speed booster. I tried all suggested solutions to reduce the TTL to 30seconds or so, but there is no improvment. New content is not even displayed for the devel.domain.com, which is supposed to have TTL of 1 second. So I don't know what to think.

Adding ?noredis=1 helps only occasionally, most of the times it delivers older content as well.

If the anonymous user submits a comment, caching gets suspended, as it should be according the documentation.

Edit: I also noticed that drupal reports

1 error has been encountered when purging URLs Array

and nginx gets similar errors

Blockquote [alert] 52902#0: *65633 stalled cache updating, error:0 while closing request, client: 127.0.0.1, server: 127.0.0.1:8888

I am copying here the headers of a normal request and I would appreciate some directions on how to resolve this issue, which is actually preventing totally all my sites from working. This is a news and forum website, where content needs to be displayed immediately, the latest after a minute or so.

  1. Please make sure you are using latest BOA stable
  2. Make sure you have configured custom Speed Booster TTL properly (INI or code)
  3. Note that default is just 10 seconds, so there is no way it can cause such issues
  4. Disable Purge+Expire modules, unless you are forcing long TTL
  5. Check the docs at: https://omega8.cc/node/108 for working code examples
  6. Make sure it is not some other caching layer (Views?) which adds confusion

I hope this helps.
