Hello Varnish-cache Community:
<br />
<br />Ubuntu 16.04.3
<br />Varnish-Cache 5.1.3
<br />Apache 2.4.18
<br />
<br />I could use a little help with getting the default.vcl correct for use with WP and phpmyadmin
<br />
<br />Want I want to do is exclude these paths from varnish:
<br />
<br />myipaddress_hostname/phpmyadmin/ [without hardcoding the myipaddress_hostname]
<br />
<br />and also
<br />
<br />myipaddress_hostname/wp-login.php
<br />
<br />
<br />Additionally,
<br />
<br />I want to handle cookies correctly as per:
<br />https://info.varnish-software.com/blog/step-step-speed-wordpress-varnish-software
<br />[This article is old, and I believe the syntax is causing issues as I tried, and Varnish-Cache would not start.]
<br />
<br />Thanks!

<br />My default.vcl
<br />
<br />#
<br /># This is an example VCL file for Varnish.
<br />#
<br /># It does not do anything by default, delegating control to the
<br /># builtin VCL. The builtin VCL is called when there is no explicit
<br /># return statement.
<br />#
<br /># See the VCL chapters in the Users Guide at https://www.varnish-cache.org/docs/
<br /># and https://www.varnish-cache.org/trac/wiki/VCLExamples for more examples.
<br />
<br /># Marker to tell the VCL compiler that this VCL has been adapted to the
<br /># new 4.0 format.
<br />vcl 4.0;
<br />
<br /># Default backend definition. Set this to point to your content server.
<br />backend default {
<br /> .host = "127.0.0.1";
<br /> .port = "8080";
