Re: Re: style.css not updating

[Zahid Rahman <zahidr1000@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have looked into the cache-busting feature of  Apache2 Webserver.

I have an Ubuntu installation of Apache2.

There wasn't  the expires module installed  by default so I rectified that situation  with

$ sudo a2enmod expires

I now have expires.load but not a corresponding expires.conf in the /etc/apache2/mods-enabled directory

unlike all the other enabled modules.

I think I need to manually create expires.conf then copy & past this file 
https://github.com/h5bp/server-configs-apache/blob/main/h5bp/web_performance/cache_expiration.conf

Then add the line  
    ExpiresByType text/css                            "access" 

in section
# Specific: Documents 

or both sections 
# Generic: Data

Finally run 

To reload Apache and apply the new config

apache2ctl reload

I don't think if I run  
$ touch expires.conf  
in the directory  /etc/apache2/mods-enabled to create the missing file will work  because 

the command ls -l shows that all the .conf symbolic links to /etc/apache2/mods-available.

What is the correct way of creating the file expires.conf  ?

The way you describe this your style.css is cached by the browser. You can verify this by opening the developer tools in the browser, then load the page and check the details in the Network tab. If that is indeed the case, "the world" will be able to see your changes exactly once and then stick with that version until the cached value expires.

I suggest you read up on how caching in browsers works as well as what cache busting is. Then decide for a workflow and server configuration that suits your use case.

Once you understand the concepts, here is a good starting point for some sensible configuration options:

It is working now on my PC  browsers.

It took some time though.

To see the changes in chrome  I had to press  ctrl +F5.

Simply pressing The refresh button was doing it.

It still a mystery why any  text  changes are shown up immediately but the changes in style.css took so long. 

Anyway  I am relieved you can see the new changes so the world can see my latest changes.

I am still seeing old  branding image  , the mark tag is still in default yellow on my android phone browser no matter how many times I refresh it.

I can see the styles are working in Firefox. Have you refreshed the page
or cleared the cache and try again?
