The 2026 Drupal Business Survey is open. Your response will help shape the future of the Drupal business ecosystem.Hello Rik,
I am having some problems to make Varnish cache my pages (Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0). I know this module's goal is to avoid these problems, but I'd be very thankful if you could confirm my settings are ase they should. I attach an image of my cookies, so you can see if everything is fine.
Thanks a lot

rdeboerHi Pablo,
Hmm... don't see anything wrong with the cookies.
Although you do seem to have the Smart IP submodule Device Geolocation switched on. That's not necessary if you have IP Geoloation Views and Maps enabled, which I believe you have. Switching on Smart IP is fine, just not the Device Geolocation submodule. Also no need to use GeoIP and Smart IP together, if you were thinking of doing so-- one of the two, not both.
If the Device Geolocation submodule or any other module on your Drupal install uses the PHP $_SESSION variable, you're stuffed as far as Varnish goes.
I don't have a Varnish environment handy at the moment so maybe someone else can chip-in regarding the best Varnish settings?

algazaras commentedHi again,
You were right, I had that module enabled. However, disabling it hasn't made disappear the Drupal.session_cache.device_geolocation_attempt
Anyhow, I must find why am I starting the SESS6614d890e33fecb8347af5736ebacb2d session, which I believe is what is preventing Varnish from working. I'll let you know if I find out.

rdeboerHi Pablo,
You need to logout to kill $_SESSION.

algazaras commentedHi Rik, and thanks again
I don't know why I couldn't see the admin menu in Firefox, and that's why I thought I was logged out.
Now it's working
Best!

rdeboerRe #4
Great Pablo,
So would you say that
Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0is the perfect config for Varnish?
Anyone want to add anything to it?

algazaras commentedHi Rik,am using at
No, that was what I got in the Network Response Headers, and it was due to being logged-in.
Now that I visit as an anonymous user I am getting
Cache-Control: public, max-age=3600
which are the settings I am using at admin/config/development/performance
Cheers

kscheirerSeems resolved?
Comment #8
rdeboer@Karl, #7:
It's resolved in that there is no problem.
It is not resolved in the sense that it would be great if some users of this module would share their favorite Varnish configuration settings to use in the context of this module.
