#
# Example of automating the process of purging the HTTP proxy cache for
# a UT Web content site.
#
# This assumes:
#    * the script is running on the UT Web panel server
#	 * The script is being run as the UT Web site account 
#    * the URL to purge is the site's main URL (utwNNNNN.utweb.utexas.edu)
#    * all sub-URL's of the main site should be purged as well ($site/*)
#   
# Season to taste.
#

  1. Log in to your site via your UT Web site account (not your developer account) via a SSH connection.

    From a SSH client (Windows) or Terminal (OS X) window, you will need to connect to your site account's home directory on the panel server via a SSH connection::

    Code Block
    ssh <utw10NNNNN>@panel.utweb.utexas.edu
  2. Copy the clearcache.sh file in to your site account's home directory: To do this, type the following in to your command line:

    Code Block
    languagebash
    themeMidnight
    cp /utweb/common/src/examples/clearcache.sh clearcache.sh
  3. Now that the file is in your home directory, we need to change the permissions of it to be executable. To do this, type the following in to your command line:

    Code Block
    languagebash
    themeMidnight
    chmod 750 clearcache.sh
  4. Now that the file is executable, run the script by typing the following in to your command line:

    Code Block
    languagebash
    themeMidnight
    ./clearcache.sh

    Real Output:

    No Format

  5. Check to see if the proxy caches were flushed by typing this in to your command line:

    Code Block
    languagebash
    curl -vI utwNNNNN.utweb.utexas.edu

    No Format

  6. Pay attention to the bottom of the output where you will see something like this to confirm the cache was flushed on that proxy cache server:

    No Format
