Hello,
This post may appear twice and I apologize.
I have just started to use varnish and was looking into the default
cache time of an object / item, etc. I know the default_ttl is 120
seconds and I was looking to change that to 3600 seconds. From the
documentation and previous mail archives I have found three ways to
set this. Two ways are through the rc.d and rc.conf files and the
last is through the vcl.
A. /usr/local/etc/rc.d/varnishd file
Create a variable called varnishd_ttl and set it to 3600.
: ${varnishd_ttl="3600"}
Edit varnishd_flags and add my new variable
: ${varnishd_flags="-P ${pidfile} -a ${varnishd_listen} -f $
{varnishd_config} -T ${varnishd_telnet} -s ${varnishd_storage} -t $
{varnishd_ttl}"}
B. /etc/rc.conf
Create a variable called varnishd_ttl and set it to 3600.
: ${varnishd_ttl="3600"}
Edit varnishd_flags and add my new variable
varnishd_enable="YES"
varnishd_listen="mb-prv.kcilink.com:80"
varnishd_storage="file,/var/tmp,512M"
varnishd_config="/usr/local/etc/varnish/morebiz.vcl"
varnishd_ttl="3600"
varnishd_flags="-P ${pidfile} -a ${varnishd_listen} -f $
{varnishd_config} -T ${varnishd_telnet} -s ${varnishd_storage} -t $
{varnishd_ttl}"
c. /usr/local/etc/varnish/default.vcl
*if (obj.ttl < 3600s) {
set obj.ttl = 3600s;
}
*not exact just scratch code.
Now my question, is there a more direct way to change the default_ttl
either through configuration files or .vcl file? If these are pretty
much the only three ways that is fine, I just wanted to make sure I
wasn't skipping over any options. Thank you in advance for your help.
