MOSS' blobcache causing 404 errors
Yesterday I found myself with a problem with this MOSS feature.
For some reason we had to delete our dev site collection. When we tried to recreate it the site was created succesfully but every resource needed for the main page was lost (404 error for gifs, jpgs, css...).
So, we navigated to the doc library where these resources should be (site collection images, for example) and there they were, but when I actually tried to click on them the 404 error arised.
I took some time to clear my mind and recalled the fact that I enabled blobcache for the web app (blobcache entry in web.config) just for fun really. I disabled that and MOSS could find the resources.
For those of you who don't know what blobcache does; blobcache reduces roundtrips to the database enabling a cache in the web front ends; so, if a user asks for a resource, it's saved in the WFE file system, subsequent requests for the same file will be served from this cache.
