1 Improved caching of web server templates
2 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
3 Template Toolkit processors used by Apache are now cached for
4 better performance (by virtue of thereby being able to take advantage
5 of Template Toolkit's internal caching mechanism). In addition, the
6 *compiled* versions of the templates themselves can be cached to
7 provide an additional performance boost.
9 Two Apache virtualhost configuration variables are added to
10 control caching of compiled templates:
12 * `OILSWebCompiledTemplateCache` - specifies location on the
13 web server filesystem to store compiled templates.
14 * `OILSWebTemplateStatTTL` - specifies number of seconds before
15 checking to see if a newer version of a cached template is
18 As a result of the caching changes, it is now necessary for
19 Evergreen administrators to reload Apache to ensure that a change
20 to (say) TPAC templates becomes visible.
