It sounds like you've already taken some good steps by clearing the Cloudflare cache and ensuring that the correct version of the code is deployed. Here are a few additional steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve caching issues in a Laravel application:
- Clear Application Cache: Run the following commands to clear your application cache. You can run these commands via SSH on your production server.
php artisan cache:clear
php artisan config:clear
php artisan route:clear
php artisan view:clear
-
Clear OPCache: If you're using OPCache, it's possible that the opcode cache has not been cleared. You can clear OPCache by restarting PHP-FPM or by using a script to clear it if you have that set up.
-
Check for Server-Level Caching: If you're using a service like Envoyer, it's possible that there might be some server-level caching in place. Check your server configuration for any caching mechanisms like Varnish or Nginx FastCGI caching and clear those caches if necessary.
-
Browser Cache: Even though you've checked in multiple browsers, ensure that you've done a hard refresh (Ctrl+F5 on Windows or Cmd+Shift+R on Mac) to bypass the browser cache.
-
Check .env File: Make sure that the
.envfile on the production server has the correct settings, especiallyAPP_ENV=productionandAPP_DEBUG=false. -
Check for Service Workers: If your application uses service workers, they might be caching your assets. You would need to update or unregister the service worker in your application's JavaScript.
-
Check CDN Settings: If you're using a CDN other than Cloudflare, or if Cloudflare has additional caching settings, make sure those are configured correctly and that any caches have been purged.
-
File Permissions: Ensure that the web server has the correct file permissions to access and serve the updated files.
-
Deployment Hooks: If you're using Envoyer, check your deployment hooks to ensure that they are running the necessary commands to clear caches and that there are no errors during the deployment process.
-
Check for Configuration Caching: If you're caching your configuration (
php artisan config:cache), make sure to run that command again after making changes to your configuration files.
If after all these steps the problem persists, you may need to do more in-depth investigation, such as checking the application logs for errors or reaching out to Envoyer support for assistance with the deployment process.
