I found OctoberCMS just recently (coming from TYPO3) and follow the watchAndLearn tutorial series on Youtube. It is simply awesome!!!

I do have a reload problem, though. Whenever I change code, it is not recognised in the backend (or in the frontend), not even reloading the page 100 times. Things like adding a paragraph (with static text or text from database) in a twig file or changing some thing in a php script in a model are simply not picked up. I must restart apache all the time, then the changes are shown. This does not happen, when I change yaml files (e.g. changing the order of fields in the model within the builder).

I fooled around with cache settings (in config/cache.cms), but to no avail.

Anybody any idea, what I am doing wrong? Thank you!

Hi,

Welcome to October!

That certainly is strange. Did you install October using the installer?

Thank you!

No, I used composer. And my local dev environment is based on this tutorial

I am working with php 7.2.2.

Hi,

For the sake of debugging your problem, could you try installing using the installer?

The installer (download on the homepage of octobercms.com) performs some checks of your system.

Please let me know if this changes anything.

I did use the installer and everything is green. (I would upload a screenshot, if that was possible...)

However, I deactivated opcache in my php setup (after also deactivating apcu in an earlier step), and now every reload is displaying the most recent changes.

Thank you for your help and replies! Very much appreciated!

Hi,

Thanks for sharing the cause! Maybe it will save somebody else some time :)

You can be more selective and do it only for development setup of your CMS: https://github.com/octobercms/october/blob/master/config/cms.php#L395
