Varnish not purging via Magento 2 - throwing 403 Forbidden error - help please

[John Risby]

Hi Per,

Thanks for the reply.

I'm sorry, I missed off the first part of the log which is

*   << Request  >> 2
-   Begin          req 1 rxreq
-   Timestamp      Start: 1459708682.774223 0.000000 0.000000
-   Timestamp      Req: 1459708682.774223 0.000000 0.000000
-   HttpGarbage    "PURGE%00"
-   ReqAcct        47 0 47 28 0 28
-   End

*   << Session  >> 1
-   Begin          sess 0 HTTP/1
-   SessOpen       127.0.0.1 54199 :80 127.0.0.1 80 1459708682.774100 18
-   Link           req 2 rxreq
-   SessClose      RX_JUNK 0.000
-   End

I realised today that it was then accessing (or trying to)
/app/etc/config.php and that is what's throwing the 403.

I know this is more a Magento 2 question than a Varnish question but no one
has replied on the Magento forum.

So I guess there's two questions from this now.

1) What does the (newly posted) log data say is happening? It seems to
suggest there is a purge request but the cache doesn't seem to clear.

2) It's then trying to access /app/et/config.php but failing and returning
403. My vcl is generated from the Magento admin backend so should be right
and the admin page where I'm flushing the cache is being accessed from
https anyway, so shouldn't that mean it is totally ignored? This is a test
server, so no one else is accessing the site and this request is consistent
every time I hit Flush Magento Cache on the backend. Any idea why it is
trying/failing to access this file?

Thanks
John
