Hello Varnish-cache Community:
Ubuntu 16.04.3
Varnish-Cache 5.1.3
Apache 2.4.18
I could use a little help with getting the default.vcl correct for use with WP and phpmyadmin
Want I want to do is exclude these paths from varnish:
myipaddress_hostname/phpmyadmin/ [without hardcoding the myipaddress_hostname]
and also
myipaddress_hostname/wp-login.php
Additionally,
I want to handle cookies correctly as per:
https://info.varnish-software.com/blog/step-step-speed-wordpress-varnish-software
[This article is old, and I believe the syntax is causing issues as I tried, and Varnish-Cache would not start.]
Thanks!

My default.vcl
#
# This is an example VCL file for Varnish.
#
# It does not do anything by default, delegating control to the
# builtin VCL. The builtin VCL is called when there is no explicit
# return statement.
#
# See the VCL chapters in the Users Guide at https://www.varnish-cache.org/docs/
# and https://www.varnish-cache.org/trac/wiki/VCLExamples for more examples.
# Marker to tell the VCL compiler that this VCL has been adapted to the
# new 4.0 format.
vcl 4.0;
# Default backend definition. Set this to point to your content server.
backend default {
.host = "127.0.0.1";
.port = "8080";
