Hi, I'm on a 'mission' -- to identify a solid, recommended, known-to-work with/on Drupal 7 Varnish3 VCL, including module selections/configs, settings.php.
Basically, a solid starting point. I've posted about it here: "Looking for (just) one, good, complete example of Varnish3+Drupal7 configuration" http://groups.drupal.org/node/187799 What troubles me is the statement, there: "There's no cookie-cutter varnish configuration because each instance is very site specific." For peak-performance tweaking, I agree. For basic functionality, my current perception is that that's flatly wrong. The same exists for Varnish2 + Pressflow6 -- it's referenced from the Varnish wiki. It works, really well. Install Pressflow6, install Varnish 2, set up the modules/settings as per the FourKitchens wiki -- done. Works for the "90%" of basic installs. For V3 + D7, however, it's a solution that's not readily found. At least, I haven't -- and, apparently, neither have lots of others similarly thrashing about. I'm quite certain that there are vetted, working V3+D7 VCLs in production. Heck, people are building companies and giving presentations on solutions using it. I've contacted a number of them asking them to consider contributing their solutions. So far, noone's taken me up on the idea. Iiuc (?), Varnish Co. itself is using Drupal -- I'd guess that's with a known-to-work Varnish3 VCL? To THIS list, I'd like to ask: Is there a known-to-work-in-real-production V3+D7 VCL that someone will share -- that's solid enough that it can/will be referenced as a good starting point on the Varnish wiki? It would be hugely useful to short-circuit the random noise out there, get a good working starting point, so that we can get sites up and running -- and then pay money to folks as needed to optimize & tweak as we grow. And, yes, it's possible to scour countless posts, etc. and (randomly) piece together snippets -- that's part of the problem. For every snippet that someone says 'works', someone else in the same thread typically says, no it doesn't, and then the discussion peters out. I certainly admit I am unable to understand what the fundamental difference between the V2+PF6 and V3+D7 scenarios is that explains why we HAVE a 'good' community recommended/documented starter config for the former, but not for the latter. If, otoh, the answer really IS "every installation is different", and that there is no longer a recommended (by community members who have already done) starting point, that too would be really valuable to hear & know -- from this list, where I'm assuming the expertise abounds. At the very least, that could usefully be communicated to the rest of us mere-mortals and we could all stop looking for something that's simply not there.
