Hi all,

I am trying to get the static publisher to work, this is my first time trying to run it.

I have followed http://doc.silverstripe.org/staticpublisher
and are using the Single server Caching technique.

These are the things I have done.

1/ mysite/_config.php - added
Object::add_extension("SiteTree", "FilesystemPublisher('cache/', 'html')");

2/ .htaccess replaced
RewriteRule .* sapphire/main.php?url=%1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
with
RewriteRule .* sapphire/static-main.php?url=%1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

3/ Have added the below to the Page.php class file

// class Page extends SiteTree { stays here is the start of a default class
class Page extends SiteTree {

   public static $db = array(
   );

   public static $has_one = array(
   );
   
   
// page classes for static publisher added by t

/**
* Return a list of all the pages to cache
*/
function allPagesToCache() {
// Get each page type to define its sub-urls
$urls = array();

// memory intensive depending on number of pages
$pages = DataObject::get("SiteTree");

foreach($pages as $page) {
$urls = array_merge($urls, (array)$page->subPagesToCache());
}

// add any custom URLs which are not SiteTree instances
$urls[] = "sitemap.xml";

return $urls;
}

/**
* Get a list of URLs to cache related to this page
*/
function subPagesToCache() {
$urls = array();

// add current page
$urls[] = $this->Link();

// cache the RSS feed if comments are enabled
if ($this->ProvideComments) {
$urls[] = Director::absoluteBaseURL() . "pagecomment/rss/" . $this->ID;
}

return $urls;
}

function pagesAffectedByChanges() {
$urls = $this->subPagesToCache();
if($p = $this->Parent) $urls = array_merge((array)$urls, (array)$p->subPagesToCache());
return $urls;
}

4/ Run /dev/buildcache?flush=1

which then gives me:

ebuilding cache.
NOTE: Please ensure that this page ends with 'Done!' - if not, then something may have gone wrong.

Removing stale cache files...
done.

Rebuilding cache from 5 urls...

FilesystemPublisher: Publishing to
* Publishing page 1/5: /silverstripe/silverstripe-v2.4.0
* Publishing page 2/5: /silverstripe/silverstripe-v2.4.0/about-us
* Publishing page 3/5: /silverstripe/silverstripe-v2.4.0/contact-us
* Publishing page 4/5: /silverstripe/silverstripe-v2.4.0/page-not-found
* Publishing page 5/5: sitemap.xml
Rebuilding cache.
NOTE: Please ensure that this page ends with 'Done!' - if not, then something may have gone wrong.

There already appears to be a publishing queue running. You can skip warning this by adding ?/&force to the URL.

5/ I then try access the main silverstripe site and I get these error messages at the top of the page

Notice: Use of undefined constant BASE_URL - assumed 'BASE_URL' in F:\wamp\www\silverstripe\silverstripe-v2.4.0\sapphire\static-main.php on line 52

6/ I've checked the cache folders and there is definatley no html file there.

Any help would be great

Hi Pigeon thanks for the reply so staticpublisher and Single server Caching are completly seperate things???

My .htaccess looks like this:

Make sure that chache is writable. You can test the .htaccess is working by adding a .html file there (eg: test.html) and then navigating to domain.com/test/ and see if it loads the html file. if it does, then your issue is with the cache being written, not the htaccess rule
