How to turn off varnish on xenforo

[chevp]

I installed xenforo on my sub-domain and my main domain has wordpress. I cannot login to my xenforo forum because of varnish, . How to disable varnish on my sub domain.

We need to know more about your setup.
Are connections going straight to Varnish on port 80? What webserver, etc etc.

Hello,

Set this at the top of the vcl_recv section in your varnish config file:

if (req.http.host == 'subdomain.domain.tld') {
return (pass);
}


Kind regards,
George.

When i tried that command it crashed. This is how the command looks like

# This is a basic VCL configuration file for varnish.  See the vcl(7)
# man page for details on VCL syntax and semantics.
#
# Default backend definition.  Set this to point to your content
# server.
#

backend default {
  .host = "192.169.236.178";
  .port = "8080";
}

#
# Below is a commented-out copy of the default VCL logic.  If you
# redefine any of these subroutines, the built-in logic will be
# appended to your code.
#
sub vcl_recv { return(pass); }
sub vcl_recv {
#return(pass);

Hello,

sub vcl_recv { return(pass);

Remove it.

sub vcl_recv { #return(pass);

Add after it:

if (req.http.host == 'forum.domain.tld') {
return (pass);
}


Change the address to match your forums one.
If you still cannot implement the suggested solution...


Kind regards,
George.

 

[chevp]

Thank you @Set3sh removing the line and adding the one you provided works.

 

[PlayStage]

Sure.
Don't mention it.
