I am trying to move my main sites from a host which is closing to a new server. Most of the migration has gone well but I am experiencing odd ?caching? behavior that has old data being served up even if I hit shift-reload or go to a different computer(!).
The new server is running NetBSD, and httpd -v gives:
Server version: Apache/2.0.59
Server built: Jul 5 2007 12:37:12
The source site is http://JonathansCorner.com/ , copied on the new server to http://moved.jonathanscorner.com/ . I'm having trouble with the root-level index, which should change once a minute and does so on the source site.
On the destination site, I have a script that looks at the domain and serves up either the (changing minute by minute) content of http://JonathansCorner.com/ , or if the domain is one of a few specific domains, serves up the content of http://JonathansCorner.com/home/ . Now, accessing it through http://moved.jonathanscorner.com/ is intended to give similar results to http://JonathansCorner.com/ , and if I circumvent Apache and run the script on the command line, it does exactly what I want it to.
The behavior I have seen was first for http://moved.jonathanscorner.com/ to give one single, frozen page like http://JonathansCorner.com/ shows (this is persistent across shift-reloads), and then to give the content of http://JonathansCorner.com/home/ .
I can post the script if requested, but I don't think it's the script, both because it is simple enough--serve up one of two files depending on regexp comparisons of the domain names--and because I get the intended dynamic output if I run it from the command line.
Are there ways Apache may be caching that I can configure away in httpd.conf or script headers? Are there other likely culprits?
Thanks,
