 Hi guys, i am new to varnish and i recently searched heavily on google and
 tried to install varnish on my company's website (which is an e-commerce
 website). The problem is when i start varnish, i found when people put
 thing into cart, then go to the checkout page, the cart session lost,
 which means the things that customers just added are lost. As soon as i
 turn off the varnish, everything works fine again. Some one please help me
 since i do not know where my problem is[[BR]]
 Here is my configuration file:[[BR]]
 sub vcl_recv {
      if (req.url ~
 "\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|ico|css|zip|tgz|gz|rar|bz2|pdf|txt|tar|wav|bmp|rtf|js|flv|swf|html|htm)$")
 {
                 unset req.http.cookie;
                 return(lookup);
         }

      if(req.url ~ "^/GenerateProductList"){
            return (lookup);
         }

      if(req.http.Cookie !~ "pflcustomerId" && req.url ~
 "^/(dog|cat|flea)"){
            return (lookup);
         }

         return(pass);
  }
 [[BR]]
  sub vcl_pipe {
      return (pipe);
  }
 sub vcl_pass {
      return (pass);
  }
 #
  sub vcl_hash {
      hash_data(req.url);
      if (req.http.host) {
          hash_data(req.http.host);
      } else {
          hash_data(server.ip);
      }
      return (hash);
  }
 #
  sub vcl_hit {
      # after lookup, if find the request content, then use it
      return (deliver);
  }
 #
  sub vcl_miss {
      # after lookup, cant find the request, then here we can see if we
 need to
      # get the content from the backend.
      return (fetch);
  }
 #
  sub vcl_fetch {
  return(deliver);

  }

  sub vcl_deliver {
      # send contents in the cache to the client.
      return (deliver);
  }

  sub vcl_error {
      set obj.http.Content-Type = "text/html; charset=utf-8";
      set obj.http.Retry-After = "5";
      synthetic {"

    </body>
  </html>
  "};
      return (deliver);
  }

  sub vcl_init {
         return (ok);
  }

  sub vcl_fini {
         return (ok);
  }
