Description

Hi,

Great module, thanks!

I was just testing it on my server, I am really satisfied. However, I went to cache/site/0 directory when I saw several files with names like this:

_u_238.html
_u_253.html
_u_241.html

and so forth....

Of course there were other "normal" html files that were supposed to be there, but these files I'm talking about are actually "Page not found" html page.

Any thoughts on this one? I read somewhere that people reported Boost to randomly give users "page not found" for frontpage?

It's a great module and I would really like it to work without these "page not found" pages. I just cannot afford my users to get "page not found" messages for no reason.

Any help would really be appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
k.

Hi, I also saw an issue in the boost queue that said that Boost was caching out 404 pages. If you want to test this out on your server just browse to a non-existent url on your webserver and check it out in your cache dir.

I noticed that Boost actually creates these pages:

_u_238.html
_u_253.html
_u_241.html

AND

some-file_u_238.html
some-file_u_253.html
some-file_u_241.html

They are both "Page not found" pages by Drupal.... while some-file.html is regular cached page that should be served.

Also noticed there is one page called "_page_searching.html" and it's also "not found" page
