OX login stalls after server update

[friess]

This is something that I have experienced several times now: when I'm updating the OX server, some users have the following problem; they cannot log anymore as the logging web interface stalls at 10% of the logging process.

The only workaround we have found for the moment is to clear the browser cache, which is not that user friendly.

I'm wondering, is this behavior expected and is there a smarter way to avoid this side effect?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Michaël

Hi Michaël,

indeed this behavior is anything but optimal. We're going to add a more intelligent way of detecting updates and flushing local caches. However, as an administrator you could disable mod_deflate 24 hours before the update in order to get clean caches automatically.

Hi Martin,

Thanks for the hint. I will use the workaround you suggest as a temporary solution and will be looking forward to the smarter way to detect updates.
