Possible to recache all sites automatically after clear cache?

Tuesday 11 November 2003 12:17:23 am

Hopefully this is a simple question. My site runs pretty fast once cached, but from time to time I need to clean all cache due to development. Is there a way (perhaps a script) to load all pages on site back in cache.

Also, I've registered that pages seems to fall out of cache after some time. Is there an expiration time for cache, and where do I set this parameter so that my pages will stay cached longer? My guess is the expiry.php in /var/cache/ but I'm not sure which values to insert to ensure permanent caching, until cleaned manually.

By the way, I would'nt recommend v.3.2-3, got too many bugs and went back to v.3.2-2. Looking forward to 3.3.x!! :)

Thanks for your reply.. Perhaps you could suggest a good webspider or similar free service online?

I'm trying to rebuild all cache by running a wget through my siste. However I'm new to this command, and not quite sure how to use it properly. I run the command under but the command fails due to no index.html file... eZ frontpage is index.php ...

wget --spider http://www.mysite.com/ez/

Well, my site is hosted on a third-party server with wget preinstalled, and it could be that there are som sysadmin-limits as to how the wget-command can be used.. I'll check that up on monday.

How I run the command? Well, actually just like i wrote in the previous posting, only with a different url of course. As I mentioned, I've never used wget before so it could be I'm just not using it correctly:

wget --spider http://www.mysite.com/ez/
-----------------------------------------
returns:
wget --spider www.mysite.com/ez/
--19:08:05-- http://www.mysite.com:80/ez/
=> `index.html.1'
Connecting to www.mysite.com:80...
Connection to www.mysite.com:80 refused.
------------------------------------------

By the way: I've achieved some better performance by including my custommade views in the site.ini.append of my siteaccess (sitemap2,sitemap3 and so on). Still, it seems like the caching of my site only last for so long... Wish I could set this caching to be permanent, unless article republished.. And then of course, be able to do the wget-thing to recache if necessary now and then..

Thanks for your feedback, Alex.. It's useful!
