Varnish VCL Reload Fails After Adding Second Backend
- by Andy
I have been running Varnish on my production server successfully for several weeks now. Now I'm trying to configure Varnish to use a second backend for certain requests. My original working VCL (/etc/varnish/default.vcl) begins like this:
backend default {
.host = "127.0.0.1";
.port = "8080";
}
...rest of VCL...
And I'm changing it to:
backend default {
.host = "127.0.0.1";
.port = "8080";
}
backend backend2 {
.host = "12.34.56.78";
.port = "80";
}
...rest of VCL...
When I reload the VCL file, I get the following:
Command failed with error code 106
Failed to reload /etc/varnish/default.vcl.
Any idea what the error could be, or how I can get more information on the problem?
