I tried this one in the MSDN IIS Newsgroup, no responses. Anyone here have any ideas?
We noticed on our IIS 5.0 development server that changes to CSS documents (linked to HTM/CFM docs) on the server did not update instantly in the client browser (IE5.5). Clearing the cache on the client side didn't seem to help. Refresh, and CTRL-Refresh didn't work, the updates seemed to take effect at random times (anywhere between 5 seconds and 5 minutes). When I started looking in to it, i found an article describing an IIS 5.0 server RAM caching "feature". The article explained that some frequently used documents are cached in the server RAM for quicker access. This seemed like a logical explanation for my .CSS problem because: a.) it didn't (and still doesn't) happen on our IIS 4.0 server b.) the length of time it took to have the updated styles actually display was inconsistent c.) requesting the .css template via HTTP sends the old file... but a request for the .css via the File protocol delivers the updated version. The article recommended changing a registry key on the server (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Ineti nfo\Parameters\MemCacheSize(REG-DWORD) ) to 0 to disable this RAM caching. We did this, and restarted the IIS service. This didn't seem to fix the problem. Anybody have any other recommendations? Maybe this wasn't the problem in the first place?? It's IIS 5.0 running on a Win2000 server. CF Server 5.0, if that matters. If you don't mind, please cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] in your replies to the list. I am subscribed to the digest.
