Boost Not Working After Recent Drupal 7.31 Core Download

Same Issue:

Using Drupal 7.31 in a local machine and tried all possible solutions.

I've added the "Boost: Pages cache status" block which after viewing a page by logged out users indicates the cache is generated. But after checking the HTML code by firebug there is no "Boost tag"; also after making some changes in the content of cached page, the anonymous user can see the fresh content.

So, the Boost doesn't deliver the cached pages.

More info:

I use "Panels" and "Panel everywhere" modules.

This is the debug log generated by boost DEBUG:

This is the Firebug Cookies tab picture for a cached page(anonymous user):

Yes I have access to cache/normal/apolo/_.html
The caches are created and after opening the caches in browser or text editor, Boost tag is available at the bottom of the source code:
<!-- Page cached by Boost @ 2014-08-27 18:17:52, expires @ 2014-09-03 18:17:52, lifetime 1 week -->

I'm testing the boost module on my local machine: apolo:8082
I've changed the %{http_host} to apolo:8082

I'm not sure the problem is 100% related to 7.31 version of drupal. I tried all the solutions and this could be the only possible issue that i cant do anything about it.

@Philip_Clarke

It seems that my Issue is not related to "Drupal 7.31".
I checked the boost module with a fresh installation of Drupal 7.24 and I have the same problem.
So the problem is probably not related to the version of Drupal or other modules.

To sum up my issue:

• running on local machine, port:8082
• Acquia Drupal stack

-Apache 2.2.22 Port:8082
-MySQL 5.1.66 Port:33066
-PHP 5.3.18

• The caches are created in cache/normal/apolo
• when I open cached pages from cache/normal/apolo in text editor, The Boost comment is available at the bottom.
• There is no Boost comment at the bottom of Source code for pages visited anonymously.

P.S: The default language of my website is non-Latin.

Is there any possible problem related to my descriptions?

Thank you Philip,

when there is no cache in /cache/normal/apolo: "The requested page "/cache/normal/apolo/_.html" could not be found."

After caching the page I can see the cached page with the "Boost Comment" at the bottom.

Generated rule in .htaccess:

# If your site is running in a VirtualDocumentRoot at http://example.com/,
  # uncomment the following line:
  # RewriteBase /
  ### BOOST START ###

  # Allow for alt paths to be set via htaccess rules; allows for cached variants (future mobile support)
  RewriteRule .* - [E=boostpath:normal]

  # Caching for anonymous users

  # Pass all requests not referring directly to files in the filesystem to

I found the source of problem: inserting apolo:8082 for caching adress in .htaccess was the problem.

After selecting the last option (apolo) from Server's URL or Name options in .htaccess setting page and replacing the new generated rule in .htaccess the problem is solved.

BUT now there is another problem:

Pages with non-Latin characters in URL are not being read.

Persian alphabet (Farsi), The alphabet is almost similar to Arabic.

Hi, I have the same problem:

1) Boost generates the pages perfectly in the cache folder
2) The cached pages, however, are NOT being served to anonymous users (no boost tag shown at bottom of page)
3) I can, nevertheless, open the cached pages manually by typing in their respective urls directly in the browser (i.e. ending with _.html)

I need some help here. I think I've tried tried every possible solution for the past 48 hours (well, apparently not).

Don't know if I need to do more to the .htaccess file than what is described in the readme.txt?

Best, Thomas

EDIT: I created a new issue since this one may be too old to bring back to life?

Seems to be related to "Apache Integration" but also outdated. So I close this issue.
