I replaced two images linked from one of the pages on my intranet, but the old versions continue to be served. Kind of. I restarted the browser (FF on Ub 18.04), with no change. I restarted apache2, with no change. I tried calling up the page on my tablet (iPad running Safari), and continued to get the old version of the images. I made a new page, with no content other than links to the new versions of the images. A pair of links to the new versions under their proper names, the pair were to copies of the new versions. The first pair of links still showed the old versions, the second showed the new ones. $ cp -p 202308dp.png stupiddp.png $ cp -p 202308tr.png stupidtr.png $ ls -Sl 202308* stup* -r--r--r-- 1 username username 38501 Sep 1 08:08 202308tr.png -r--r--r-- 1 username username 38501 Sep 1 08:08 stupidtr.png -r--r--r-- 1 username username 13741 Sep 1 08:09 202308dp.png -r--r--r-- 1 username username 13741 Sep 1 08:09 stupiddp.png $ The 202308* files are the revised files that I want to show. The stupid* files are, as is shown, exact copies, which do show. They are identical, so the failure to display is not due to a problem with the files. Then, I went to a different computer, one that I was sure had never called up the page in question. It properly showed the new version. This also supports the idea that there is no problem with the files themselves. But, when I went back to the box where I was originally working, it still showed the old images. I tried adding the line: EnableSendfile off to my /etc/apache2/apache.conf followed by restarting apache2, as suggested by: <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12472528/apache-caching-images> I tried: $ sudo a2enmod expires followed by a restart, as suggested by: <https://www.arubacloud.com/tutorial/how-to-optimize-the-cache-of-static-files-of-apache-on-ubuntu-18-04.aspx> Neither of these had any effect. It should be noted that I upgraded Ubuntu (xenial ==> bionic) since my previous modification to the page with the problematic display. What do I try next? -- Michael F.
