Page does not seem to be reloaded on prod server

josh · October 28, 2008, 7:07pm

Hi all

I’ve coded a small shop that works well on my dev machine (OSX 10.5).

But look at the following page:

http://shop.incense.ch/compact_discs/1

When clicking “Reservieren”, the page is forwarded to a new page, where
the product is added to the shopping cart, and a flash notice is
prepare. Then the page is redirected back to the shop page.

On my dev machine this works well. But on the production server this
doesn’t seem to work! But look what happens when you click on another
link, e.g. “Kontakt”! There the stuff seems to be!
What the heck? Never stumbled over this before…

Anyone has an idea what’s wrong here?

Thanks
Josh

Hi Josh,

could you post some source code (of “add” action for example) and some
more info about your production env? Do you display flash messages in
your layout or view files? If in view files, do you include it on the
page where it is missing?

Best,
Hubert

could you post some source code (of “add” action for example)

def add
session[:ordered_compact_disc_ids] ||= []
compact_disc = CompactDisc.find(params[:id])
if compact_disc.quantity > 0
session[:ordered_compact_disc_ids].push(compact_disc.id)
flash[:notice] = “CD ‘#{compact_disc.display_title}’ zu Warenkorb
hinzugefÃ¼gt. Um den Warenkorb an zu schauen, bitte den Link ‘Warenkorb’
rechts oben klicken.”
else
flash[:notice] = “CD ‘#{compact_disc.display_title}’ ist leider
nicht mehr verfÃ¼gbar.”
end
redirect_to(compact_disc_path(compact_disc))
end

and some
more info about your production env?

It’s a shared hoster, www.cyon.ch, everything should be OK there I
guess. I’m using Rails >2 and a MySQL db.

Any more infos needed?

Do you display flash messages in
your layout or view files? If in view files, do you include it on the
page where it is missing?

I display the flash messages in my layouts/application.rhtml view, which
is my only layout.

I just created a new app on the server using the tools that are
available, and there with a simple people-scaffold flashes etc. seem to
work without any problem…

I did a

tail -f log/production.log

and watched the log while clicking on the “Reservieren” Button.
Everything seems OK, I’m getting normal logs:

Yes, it’s definitely a caching problem. In production mode the whole
page is cached, so it is loaded from public/compact_discs/xxx and so the
flash is not displayed. What a newbie mistake…

Thanks anyway for help.

OK, I’m getting closer…

On my local machine, a click on the “Reservieren” link provoces Rails to
render two pages, as it seems from the log:
