@helenhousandi By “backup”, I meant a hosted backup platform which stores all of a websites posts and pages. … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/786895779147505665

@helenhousandi That’s literally the only example I can think of myself ever needing it for though. … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/786895650864635904

@helenhousandi Because it would require users storing their WordPress login on a hosted platform. I personally would never do that. … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/786895108134273024

@zamoose @sillygrampy I think all of the tutorials I attempted to follow were just plain wrong. Or perhaps none work with latest versions :/ … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/783857161159966720

@zamoose @sillygrampy This solved it … https://t.co/3S2NlmswOn … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/783857004976676867

@zamoose Yep, and when I do `sudo service varnish status` it says this https://t.co/6Vzqct73aC, which looks like it’s on port 80 to me. … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/783855214013124608

@zamoose I’m running `sudo netstat -p tcp -ano` to find what is using port 80, and I see nothing using port 80 :/ … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/783851762130227200

@zamoose @sillygrampy SSL would make sense on the backend, if the backend is to another server (it’s not in this case). … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/783849707546312704

@zamoose @sillygrampy This on the other hand, does work, since it’s using Nginx `curl -I http://localhost:8080/ryan.txt` … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/783849360434073601

@zamoose @sillygrampy I feel this should make Varnish cough up the page contents but it does not `curl -I http://localhost:80/ryan.txt` … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/783849276417925120

@zamoose @sillygrampy Nginx microcaching is what I currently use since I don’t know how to use Varnish. … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/783847579117387777

@sillygrampy I suspect my problem lies elsewhere, because if I run `curl -i http://ift.tt/2dTHF4d`, I get “Connection Refused” … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/783844431027929088

@sillygrampy Or more to the point, why would the backend need to be SSL? I’m missing something here :/ … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/783843579965874176

@jstr Your curl command worked, but I just realised port 80 does not work. So it’s not loading it through Varnish. … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/783832056656695296

@jstr Thanks for helping me debug so far though 🙂 … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/783831036476129280

@jstr That port 80 vs 6081 seems to be caused by a bug https://t.co/JMY68CRTnI. But I’ve fixed that, and it still won’t load. Blurghh. … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/783830981564329984

@charlottengrad Yes, but that’s a bit crap. @Ipstenu pointed out that mysql works remotely. Problem solved 🙂 … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/779061120283836416

@Rarst It turns out you can use local mysql to interact with remote DB’s according to @Ipstenu. That solves my problem quite nicely 🙂 … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/779060883771289600

@encodedesign I misunderstood. @Ipstenu pointed out just now that mysqldump works remotely. I hadn’t realised that until now. Problem solved … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/779060713151008768
