Index caching

I’ve recently ran into trouble with my Typo installation.

Currently my site (http://www.thoughtstoblog.com) resides at Dreamhost.
I hadn’t changed any configuration or any files and out of the blue the
base url (handled by the index action on the articles controller) was no
longer responding. I go to the base url (www.thoughtstoblog.com) and the
screen is blank, with no HTML.

If I head to www.thoughtstoblog.com/articles , which is the equivalent
in routes.rb… it works fine. The index is not being cached and no
content is being sent.

I’ve turned it to development mode and nothing comes through at all when
I hit www.thoughtstoblog.com. No messages nothing… once again, it
happened out of the blue.

In my panicky, potentially unwise drunken state… I did an svn
update… which took me from r845 where I was… to r876. The problem
still persists…

Any clues would be very helpful… I have a lot of readers who still
aren’t using an aggregator and they are getting blank content.

I’m probably not giving you all the information that anyone would need
to help me out… so feel free to request whatever is necessary :slight_smile:

Thanks,
Jake

p.s. I added a comment and changed the status of
http://www.typosphere.org/trac/ticket/653 because I felt that it might
be the same problem.

FYI, everything looks fine to me. Your last post is 2 days old and
does show up.

To keep things slightly on topic, however, I stumbled upon this kind
of symptoms when running under Webrick a few times. Deleting
/tmp/ruby-sess* solved the problem. Seems to be related to sessions.
Not familiar with Dreamhost’s setup but I guess that it’s not your
case.

However, as specified, your blog looks OK here.

I just now got it working again… I had made some simple modifications
to the .htaccess which apparantly broke out of the blue.

:: shrugs :: I just reverted my .htaccess and it’s working. Now to
figure out what the pesky things were in my .htaccess…

Thanks for helping!
