Hi
I need some assistance with my varnish (or at least so it seems like), for whatever reason whenever I use curl to check for varnish's "X-Varnish-Cache" I always get "MISS", I'm not sure when/what have changed in the past so it stop working but a while ago it was working fine no problem.
I post my varnish's default.vcl here: http://pastebin.com/6yJALh5B
any suggestions are welcome and not to just MISS/HIT but in general if you have any suggestions over my varnish config I'm gladly listen

max-age=0
max-age=0 means don't let pages age.
You need to change your setting in pressflow in admin/settings/performance to allow pages to have an age. ;)

Headers are what they are
I can't comment on your codebase or config since I can't see them, but the reason you're not getting caches is that the max-age header being sent is zero.
That's generally determined by the "Page cache maximum age" value in Pressflow, but you'll need to trace why that's not working. Find out where the header is being set and you'll have your answer.

I'm not sure where to look
I went ahead and modify my /etc/hosts by pointing directly to our apache servers vs going through varnish and looks like I get same "max-age=0"

I found a problem inside of httpd.conf that would prevent this from happening so as soon as i disabled everything went back to normal... whem :-)

Can you please describe the issue you found in apache and outline steps you took to correct it? Would be most helpful to others who might have the same issue with varnish / apache!
Warm regards!

In my case settings.php
In my case settings.php configuration was causing the issue, changing the $conf['cache_lifetime'] to 0 did the trick.
Configuration that worked for me is below,
<?php$conf['cache_backends'] = array('sites/all/modules/contrib/varnish/varnish.cache.inc');
$conf['cache_class_cache_page'] = 'VarnishCache';
$conf['page_cache_invoke_hooks'] = False;
$conf['reverse_proxy'] = True;
$conf['cache'] = 1;
$conf['cache_lifetime'] = 0;
$conf['page_cache_maximum_age'] = 21600;
$conf['reverse_proxy_header'] = 'HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR';
$conf['reverse_proxy_addresses'] = array('127.0.0.1');
$conf['omit_vary_cookie'] = True;
?>
