I don't know why but my favicon does not update on a site I change that with a new one with the same name but it shows the old one the default one. any suggestions.

This is the problem of browsers which cache favicons, try to pass params of filehash, so when it will change you will get a new one.

<link rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" href="/favicon.ico?hash=8799864">

Yeah, this is an unfortunate browser annoyance. Any unique GET param will work, people usually go with ?v=1 then increase that number as they change favicons.
