RE: Witango-Talk: <@purgecache>

[Ben Johansen]

I think the cache is treated like a drive if someone is in a read operation that file is not affected So, all the files that are cached and not being used are cleared (during the purge) and the server waits for an opening to clear the stragglers   From the docs… Once a file is put into the cache, it is retrieved from the cache until that file is purged from the cache. No timestamp checking is performed when a cached file is referenced; that is, if you put a new version of an application file or included file on the Web server while Witango Server is running and the cache is on, the cached copy of the file continues to be used until the cache is explicitly purged or Witango Server is restarted. This is the only hint of timing I can find in the manual   I am hoping someone in the With Support/Dev. community might step in here Wink!

The variables are not affected by <@PURGECACHE> That purge is for the whole taf/include   What might happen is that you new .taf miss interprets what was in the variable prior   Ben Johansen - http://www.pcforge.com Authorized Witango Reseller http://www.pcforge.com/WitangoGoodies.htm Authorized MDaemon Mail Server Reseller http://www.pcforge.com/AltN.htm -----Original Message----- From: Atrix Wolfe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 09, 2003 11:28 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Witango-Talk: <@purgecache>   hello, i was wondering something about the purge cache tag.   Does it wait for all request to finish before it clears the cache or does it just clear it right away?   Im wondering cause if I have changed a file significantly and caught a user mid stride with a purge cache,could there be some issues w/ old variables (local scope) inside new code?  Or maybe with new code w/o the new variables if they were past the action that defined the vars when it cleared the cache?   Thanks for the info!
