Troubleshooting
New web shortcut does not redirect (simply shows 404 error) or redirects to an old page
The cache clearing failed for some reason. You can manually clear the cache using the following links for each server:
https://beta.cedarville.edu/this-page-does-not-exist?clearcache=1
https://www.cedarville.edu/this-page-does-not-exist?clearcache=1
If that doesn't work or works intermittently, you may need to clear the cache directly on each CD server:
https://cdfinity1.cedarville.edu/this-page-does-not-exist?clearcache=1
https://cdfinity2.cedarville.edu/this-page-does-not-exist?clearcache=1
