Cache and EZFind

Tuesday 27 January 2009 7:35:36 am

I am using a cache server that makes a cached copy of the ezpublish site which has a "time to live" and an api that can be called to update the cache. There is a 7 minute lag that these cache servers need to update.

I am having a hard time visualizing what will happen when this mechanism is combined with ezfind. Are there any implications that a set of cache servers would cause when, lets say, a page gets edited and the cache needs to be updated.

What about if I run updatesearchindexsolr.php as a cron every 5 minutes? Or maybe this wouldnt be a good idea because if its ran every 5 minutes, it may not complete in time, so lets say 20 minutes?

Thanks,

Hi Bryan,

You only need to run a cron job if the indexing is delayed. You can find this setting in site.ini

[SearchSettings]
DelayedIndexing=enabled

The indexcontent.php is part of the cronjob by default. See cronjob.ini

[CronjobSettings]
ScriptDirectories[]=cronjobs
...
Scripts[]=indexcontent.php
