page not updating right away

[ashbii]

I am new to Django, but love it so far. I went through a tutorial and
created a basic blog app. I'm using Django's admin interface to add
new blog posts -- I have a blog "Post" model.

My problem is that whenever I enter and save a new blog post via
admin, its not showing up on the web page (template) right away. It
usually shows up after a few hours. It shows up right away on the
admin side though. This leads me to believe that there is some sort
of caching going on, but I do not have any type of Django cache
setting going on in my settings.py file. Is this a python cache
issue? I've tried pkill python, but doesn't work either. Is there a
template/web page cache in Django?

My host is Dreamhost, so I am running Django with FastCGI. I know
thats not the preferred set up, but just getting my feet wet with
Django. Thanks for any advice!

No there isn't.

Could you show us the code for your view?

please try restarting your webserver after uploading or, use the
internal django testserver on a local machine....

A very common problem is that the timezone or system clock is off.
Most Blog implementations allow you to create a blog entry "in the
future" so it shows up on your web page only after a specified time.
This capability plays havoc with noobies who haven't bothered to set
their timezone correctly in their settings.py. A 2 hour delay is the
most common since the settings.py defaults to Chicago and many shared
host servers are based in the Pacific timezone.

Thanks Rock, that was it. I had to change my TIME_ZONE setting in my
project's settings.py.
