Warning
Unable to connect publishing blob caching. Web.Config is not set up correctly. Cache is not valid. WebId is '1303494830', Url is 'http://vmmossdev:8088/_themes/myTheme/viewheadergrad_mt.gif'.


You may see the above warning in your event log, if the "BlobCache" configsection is declared without been defined... well I did, and I google and could find a single valid explanation.




The Fix: Just add a node in the node like...



<BlobCache location="C:\blobCache" path="\.(gif|jpg|png|css|js)$" maxSize="10" enabled="false" />

  1. SharePoint blob caching is an important consideration when addressing the performance issues of blob access. SharePoint offers a very elementary form of blob caching which is disc based. It is restricted to only one WFE in the SharePoint infrastructure and does not go beyond its confines. But the reality tells us that BLOB access, with payload growing as high as terabytes, requires a much more sophisticated, distributed, in-memory, and fail-safe caching infrastructure.

    There is a tool known as StorageEdge which provides precisely such a blob caching facility. It offers a unique combination of externalization and BLOB caching for effective blob management and access from a single interface. It makes use of NCache® technology to let you cache frequently used BLOBs in a distributed fashion with high availability, complete replication and failover.
