    Updates from windows machine doesn't reflect on mac, vice versus

    We are experience a very strange problem with our Umbraco (4.0.4.2 (Assembly version: 1.0.3811.17115)) set up. We recently migrated from Windows 2003 IIS 5 to Windows 2008 R2 IIS 7.5 (dotnet 2, integrated pipeline w/ 3.5 installed). Prior to the migration everything was running very smoothly, but since the migration we are noticing some very strange behaviors on our page builds.

    The problem is, when we make a change to a page on a Windows OS (regardless of browser) this change is only seen after publishing on a Windows OS. If we visit this page on a Mac OS (regardless of browser), the changes are not seen. However, when we log into Umbraco on the Mac OS to make the change again, the change exists in Umbraco and publishing the page will cause the changes to then appear in the Mac OS browser.

    This also happens if the page was originally published on a Mac OS then viewed on a Windows OS; the changes are not visible on the Windows OS until publish from a Windows OS.

    We are hoping for any direction of what the solution may be or if upgrading Umbraco is the correct option.

    Hi Jon

    That's a really strange issue for sure.

    Maybe this is a long shot but I can't help to think that this maybe is caching issues? What happens if you make changes on one of the machines and try to see them on the other machine, after clearing the browser chache maybe?

    I think it must be something local on the machines since it does not make sense the server serves different results to the machines. Are there a lot of security stuff going on on the machines?

    /Jan

    At first you would think it's a local machine issue; however, it's not browser dependent.  Perform the change in safari or firefox on the mac and the change doesn't show up on the pc.  We contacted the client thinking there might be a load balancer or clustered environment involved but that's not the case.  I've ran into an iis cache issue in the past where I've made a change and had to wait 15 min before the site updated, but it's not like that either, hours in between and no change.  I was really curious if anyone had ever seen this behavior or perhaps an idea/setting we can try.
