Varnish 3 can't cache, all MISSed. Using Drupal 7

Posted by gilzero on May 10, 2012 at 3:47pm

Hello

My stack:
- Ubuntu / LAMP
- Drupal 7.14
- Varnish 3.0.2
- HTTP port 8080 / varnishd port 80

varnishd is running in front of backserver.

Basically, X-Varnish-Cache = MISS in header for ALL the pages, not caching anything at all.

I also tested in http://www.isvarnishworking.com , the result confirmed, please see my screenshot below

Vanish module settings:

Only local images are allowed.

Performance settings:

settings.php:

// Add Varnish settings
$conf['cache_backends'][] = 'sites/all/modules/varnish/varnish.cache.inc';
$conf['cache_class_cache_page'] = 'VarnishCache';
$conf['page_cache_invoke_hooks'] = FALSE;

default.vcl :
(Attached below: default.vcl_.txt)

==================================

What is wrong with my set up? Do I miss anything?

Thank you in advanced!

If you hit the origin server, does it also have the Cache-Control: no-cache? (I will bet it does.)

What if you serve up a static file? (remove PHP configuration from the mix)

If that still has no-cache then it's the origin server's configuration. (My suspicion.)

Hello loryrin, thanks for your reply.

You mean browse to backend server directly? I open http://mysite.com:8080, checked the header, the Cache-Control value is: [Cache-Control: max-age=0, no-cache]
