[Dispatcher] .stat file not generated

Hi,

I'm configuring dispatcher to generate the .stat file from the config:

/cache

{

  # the cacheroot must be equal to the document root of the webserver

  /docroot "/mnt/cache"

  # sets the level upto which files named ".stat" will be created in the

  # document root of the webserver. when an activation request for some

  # handle is received, only files within the same subtree are affected

  # by the invalidation.

  /statfileslevel "1"

}

By right, the stat file should be auto-generated at docroot (/mnt/cache) when I restart apache, but there was no file generated (I check with command ls -la).

From the log when I access the dispatcher:

[Thu Sep 27 10:43:05 2018] [D] [pid 19238] Found farm publishfarm for dispatcher

[Thu Sep 27 10:43:05 2018] [D] [pid 19238] checking [/content/mywebsite/en.html]

[Thu Sep 27 10:43:05 2018] [D] [pid 19238] request declined

[Thu Sep 27 10:43:05 2018] [I] [pid 19238] "GET /content/mywebsite/en.html" - - 0ms

Please advise me on this. Any help would be appreciated.

My dispatcher version is 4.2.2 for Apache 2.4 on Linux 64 bit.

Thanks.

Hello Manh,

The behavior you're seeing is expected. It's because you've added the statefileslevel with a value of "1".

The value of "1" means that there will be two .stat files, one at the docroot itself, and another one at docroot and one at the /content directory. So you should see a .stat file in the /mnt/cache and at /mnt/cache/content directories.

If you wish to see a .stat file generated for every single one of your content levels, you'll have to change the statfileslevel to "6", or "7" or to the depth of your site structure and then replicate a page. For example, if you wish to see the .stat file at /content/mywebsite/test1/test2/test3/test4, you'll have to set the statfileslevel to "7", restart the dispatcher and replicate the page to see the .stat file.

For further information about this stat file's usage and it's implications, please check Configuring Dispatcher

Dear Manh,

Looking at your log. The request is actually being served from Cache.

Kindly look at /mnt/cache/content/mywebsite and check for .stat file there.

Regards,

Peter
