[solved] New Content does not show up for hours

[dfeller]

Howdy:
CMS 1.9.4.1, php 5.2.17, MySQL 5.0.77, Apache 2.2.3 Redhat,

Got a weird one...
Site is up and fully functional - as far as I can tell everything works perfectly (no extra modules installed at all yet - this is a straight install).

Once I deleted all the default content, I began adding new pages in the admin panel and I noticed that no new content (at root level or subpages alike) show up right away. I have not figured out the exact sequence of events yet, but eventually everything that I added eventually shows up all at once.
When I say "does not show up", it neither shows up as a page in the admin panel nor shows up on the live site itself. (until they suddenly all show up).

I logged in from another computer at a separate location and none of the pages were there so that rules out my local computer/cache issues.

I did notice that I seem to be able to force all the added pages to show up (sometimes) if I add a new root level page and log out and log back in a few times. There is no clear correlation to an activity and all the added content showing back up.

Note that once they show up, it all works fine, everything is fully editable, and there seem to be no other issues.

The site is still not live but you can at least see the homepage at http://www.repurposedmaterialsinc.com/rindex.php

Any ideas or advice? I would be grateful as this one I just can't seem to figure out.

I think that your TimeZone isnt set correctly in the config.php. You could check this by clicking the clear-cache in GlobalSettings. If the pages appear afterwards, then difference between the TZ is causing the caching.

Hallo,

I've noticed such behaviour, too.
How is it possible to find out which is the right TZ?
Do I have to do something special when daylight savings time is on?

So, I contacted the host company (a very small one by the way) and turns out they are in a different timezone - so I set the config.php to match where they are and all is good.

I am curious, though, most site I host on inmotionhosting.com and my understanding is that their servers are all over the place - I've got 4 other cmsmadesimple sites on their servers and I've never run into this before - just curious why? I always set the timezone during setup to my timezone - That implies there is some setting on the server that makes this not matter?

Thanks again for all the help.
