Invalidate Varnish cache

Allowing Apache to see client ip from Behind a trusted proxy.
Posted on
With high speed caching based on nginx, varnish or CDNs in general the client ip gets lost. All
IPs get reported as 127.0.0.1 since the proxy is making the socket request. Solution is two phased:
1) enable reporting the client IP to the X-Forwarded-For header at the proxy or CDN.
This depends on the proxy will be covered in separate posts.
2) installing and configuring the mod_remoteip in Apache 2.
Project link L https://github.com/ttkzw/mod_remoteip-httpd22 mkdir /usr/local/src/mod_remoteip cd /usr/local/src/mod_remoteip wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ttkzw/mod_remoteip-httpd22/master/mod_remoteip.c wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ttkzw/mod_remoteip-httpd22/master/mod_remoteip.conf wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ttkzw/mod_remoteip-httpd22/master/Makefile yum install httpd-devel make make install
Configuration in the Apache config file:
in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
# Load and configure mod_remoteip for Google PageSpeed Service
LoadModule remoteip_module /usr/lib64/httpd/modules/mod_remoteip.so
RemoteIPHeader X-Forwarded-For
service apache reload
voila 🙂
How to test varnish vcl file
Posted on
Unlike most other configuration systems varnish went with a compiled configuration so if there is a mistake all you get is :
Starting varnish HTTP accelerator: [FAILED]
To check what the problem is use the following :
varnishd -C -f default.vcl
varnishd -C -f default.vcl
Message from VCC-compiler:
Expected return action name.
(input Line 37 Pos 13)
return (hit_for_pass);
————############–
Running VCC-compiler failed, exit 1[root@MyHost1 varnish]# vim default.vcl
[root@MyHost1 varnish]# varnishd -C -f default.vcl
Message from VCC-compiler:
Invalid condition ‘&’ on numeric variable
only ‘==’, ‘!=’, ‘<‘, ‘>’, ‘<=’ and ‘>=’ are legal
(input Line 51 Pos 17)
if (obj.hits > 0) {
—————-#——–
Rightly so the error shouts back at you with a # under it.
Very clear and to the point, the vcl I had was HTML’ed and replaced > with >
That’s it..
