Possible to recache all sites automatically after clear cache?

Valentin Svelland	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!! :)

You can also check out programs like HTTrack (www.HTTrack.com) or WGet (www.gnu.org/software/wget/) which allow you to download an entire site locally. You can set theprograms up to not actually download anything, so they will go through the site and hit every page as well.

Alex Jones	Thursday 13 November 2003 6:24:25 am Either of the two that I mentioned above would work. You might also want to look into using Xenu (http://home.snafu.de/tilman/xenulink.html).

Valentin Svelland	Friday 14 November 2003 12:17:36 am 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/ Valentin
Alex Jones	Friday 14 November 2003 6:16:48 am That is odd. The fact that your index file is PHP shouldn't make a difference... What is the actual command you are using? Is your site hosted on a third-party server, or is it possible that another developer/sysadmin could have set up the server to block spidering scripts?

Valentin Svelland	Friday 14 November 2003 10:13:55 am 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!

Alex Jones	Friday 14 November 2003 11:20:46 am Sorry Valentin, I missed your earlier posting of the command. I'm not sure why that wouldn't work. The return you posted seems to indicate that the server is indeed blocking access. Perhaps you could try spoofing the user agent in Wget to see if that works. Try adding somehting like: --user-agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5) This will tell the server that Wget is Mozilla running on Windows XP. You may need to enclose the value in quotes, I'm not sure. If thisworks then you can experiment with setting a user agent to whatever you want. This will also help you filter out Wget when analyzing your traffic logs. Alex Alex [ bald_technologist on the IRC channel (irc.freenode.net): #eZpublish ] <i>When in doubt, clear the cache.</i>
