Caching issues

I seem to have weird caching issues with oc3.0.3.2 - I can refresh over and over again both mod cache & template/saas ones and things do not show up. Had an extension not show in the modules list until the next day! Most things show up after multiple refreshes. Some changes I make like in a product and saved do not show up when I re-open it for editing until I refresh the page - sometimes several times or only after I logout/log back in.

I don't get why and don't know if it is normal for 3.0.3.2 or something is goofy. Is there a cache setting somewhere that might need adjusting? I've never had this happen with oc before - it doesn't happen on my v2.2 store on the same server. I do not have any caching plugins installed and it was happening with just the stock 3.0.3.2 installed without any mods at all. I also tried disabling my chrome browser cache and that isn't it. It's definitely annoying and slowing me down.

I've seen issues like this from vQmod before, where it doesn't auto-clear its cache, so it shows old files. You can try disabling it or manually removing its cache files to see if that fixes it. If it doesn't, then it wouldn't be vQmod.

Other than that, some servers seem to have some weird caching mechanisms like this, but I haven't traced it to any particular server module before. That typically wouldn't suddenly appear, either, but you could ask your web host if they installed anything recently.

There is an issue with cache control headers in version 3. It doesn't look exactly like your problem, but maybe worth a try even if it's just to eliminate it.

Yep it seems to be really cheap hosts who are trying to reduce load on their servers and cram more sites on than they should.

I am not using any vqmods in it - only ocmod.

I have a vps with litespeed on it though it is not yet set up in opencart and I have no other caching installed.

Thanks. I will look into that.

That didn't make any difference. Looks like that was an issue with IE and I am using chrome but tried anyway.
