Hi.  
I have a RoR project which was working just fine.  
But i’ve tryied to follow this site and add proxy cache to my nginx  
config:  
[http://vstark.net/2012/10/21/nginx-unicorn-performance-tweaks/](http://vstark.net/2012/10/21/nginx-unicorn-performance-tweaks/) and  
devise  
just won’t sign\_in anymore. I don’t get any errors, just don’t sign\_in  
and  
redirect me to login again.

As the autor from the link suggested to someone with same problem as I,  
i’ve  
done this on my nginx conf:

location = /users/sign\_in{  
proxy\_pass [http://app](http://app);  
proxy\_set\_header Host $http\_host;  
proxy\_ignore\_headers Set-Cookie;  
proxy\_ignore\_headers Cache-Control;  
proxy\_cache\_bypass $http\_secret\_header;  
add\_header X-Cache-Status $upstream\_cache\_status;  
}

The same to /login.  
But devise still won’t sign\_in.

Anyone knows how to solve that?  
Any more configs so I can skip cache to sign\_in?
