Hello Varnish-cache Community:

Ubuntu 16.04.3
Varnish-Cache 5.1.3
Apache 2.4.18

I could use a little help with getting the default.vcl correct for use with WP and phpmyadmin

Want I want to do is exclude these paths from varnish:

myipaddress_hostname/phpmyadmin/     [without hardcoding the myipaddress_hostname]

and also

myipaddress_hostname/wp-login.php


Additionally,

I want to handle cookies correctly as per:
https://info.varnish-software.com/blog/step-step-speed-wordpress-varnish-software
[This article is old, and I believe the syntax is causing issues as I tried, and Varnish-Cache would not start.]

Thanks!

My default.vcl

#
# This is an example VCL file for Varnish.
#
# It does not do anything by default, delegating control to the
# builtin VCL. The builtin VCL is called when there is no explicit
# return statement.
#
# See the VCL chapters in the Users Guide at https://www.varnish-cache.org/docs/
# and https://www.varnish-cache.org/trac/wiki/VCLExamples for more examples.

# Marker to tell the VCL compiler that this VCL has been adapted to the
# new 4.0 format.
vcl 4.0;

# Default backend definition. Set this to point to your content server.
backend default {
    .host = "127.0.0.1";
    .port = "8080";
}

### Exluding URLs from Caching ###
sub vcl_recv {
   if (req.url ~ "^/phpmyadmin/") {
      return (pass);
   }
}

sub vcl_recv {
    # Happens before we check if we have this in cache already.
    #
    # Typically you clean up the request here, removing cookies you don't need,
    # rewriting the request, etc.

if (req.method == "PURGE") {

if (req.http.X-Purge-Method == "regex") {

ban("req.url ~ " + req.url + " && req.http.host ~ " + req.http.host);

return (synth(200, "Banned."));

} else {

return (purge);

}
}

set req.http.cookie = regsuball(req.http.cookie, "wp-settings-\d+=[^;]+(; )?", "");

set req.http.cookie = regsuball(req.http.cookie, "wp-settings-time-\d+=[^;]+(; )?", "");

set req.http.cookie = regsuball(req.http.cookie, "wordpress_test_cookie=[^;]+(; )?", "");

if (req.http.cookie == "") {

unset req.http.cookie;
}
}

sub vcl_backend_response {
    # Happens after we have read the response headers from the backend.
    #
    # Here you clean the response headers, removing silly Set-Cookie headers
    # and other mistakes your backend does.
}

sub vcl_deliver {
    # Happens when we have all the pieces we need, and are about to send the
    # response to the client.
    #
    # You can do accounting or modifying the final object here.
}
