Hi,

I've changed the backend default back to 8080.

Security group on aws for port 8080 isn't open.

and changed /etc/sysconfig/varnish to

DAEMON_OPTS="-a :80 \
             -f /etc/varnish/default.vcl \
             -T localhost:6082 \
             -b localhost:8080 \
             -u varnish -g varnish \
             -s file,/var/lib/varnish/varnish_storage.bin,256m"

When I run varnishstat I don't get any useful information

0+00:00:00
Hitrate ratio:        0        0        0
Hitrate avg:     0.0000   0.0000   0.0000

How do you start the varnish daemon? I've tried sudo `bash -x
/etc/init.d/varnish restart` I get  http://pastebin.com/pTikCS7Y and still
nothing in varnishlog
