I am running a web server on my rasberryPi and just managed to install varnish with this tutorial http://www.weedpi.com/how-to/install-va ... pberry-pi/
I went to this site http://www.isvarnishworking.com/ and checked if my Varnish is working and got a message: Yes! Sort of! Varnish appears to be responding at that url, but the "Age" header is less than 1. This means that either, 1) you checked right when Varnish cleared it's cache for that url, or 2) for whatever reason Varnish is not actually serving the content for that url from cache.
So my problem is that Varnish is answering correctly but it is not serving pages from cache... How can I fix this ? I have no idea because normal Varnish commands are not working :/

Sorry if I'm underestimating your knowledge, but have you configured what you want it to cache? Or you just did what's written in that tutorial? I made mistake thinking having vcl file means it is configured to cache everything. Silly me - couldn't be further from truth :) Don't know if it'll help you but here's the page with varnish example vcl files https://www.varnish-cache.org/trac/wiki/VCLExamples

Maybe I should read more about the vcl file if that defines what and how much is cached. – Shnigi – 2014-03-07T07:36:31.343
Yes, I haven't been talking about memory allocation, but backend configuration and cacheing polices. Note: PLEASE provide some feedback here - marking comments as helpful, or comment/answer this question yourself. To conclude, it's probably an overkill, but here's an interesting... let's call it "tutorial" about Varnish: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEF6_XC-2ZU
