Fastcgi cache

Server NGINX
1

Igor,

Is there any way to set the it just to cache image and other media
files, but not text/html? I only see based on response in the Russian
docs (best as I can understand). Is that something that can be added or
is planned?

如果是js、css、gif等推荐用squid。如果是大的媒体文件，推荐用rsync同步后再用ngninx输出。

No, currently nginx can not cache using content-type, but it can be easy
added. Also you may use location to separate responses.

Can you give a sample configuration of how that would work.

I have tried putting location blocks in and out of the main fastcgi_pass
block without any success.

I have tried putting location blocks in and out of the main fastcgi_pass block without any success.

location ~ .php$ {
fastcgi_pass …
}

location ~ .(jpg|gif|png)$ {
fastcgi_pass …
fastcgi_cache …
}

Finally that worked.

Thank you Igor!

That’s what I tried first: It’s a Perl script and I am using fcgiwrap.

location ~ myscript {
fastcgi_pass unix:/tmp/cgi.sock;
include /usr/local/nginx/conf/fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_buffers 64 8k;
}

location ~ .(jpg|gif|png)$ {
fastcgi_pass unix:/tmp/cgi.sock;
fastcgi_cache one;
fastcgi_cache_key unix:/tmp/cgi.sock.1$request_uri;
fastcgi_cache_valid 200 302 5m;
fastcgi_cache_valid 301 1d;
fastcgi_cache_valid any 5m;
include /usr/local/nginx/conf/fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_buffers 64 8k;
}

The only thing that winds up in the cache is when there is a 403.

Probably you need to add

fastcgi_ignore_headers Cache-Control Expires;

fastcgi_cache_valid 200 302 5m;

That didn’t change anything.

If I configure with:

location ~ myscript {
fastcgi_pass unix:/tmp/cgi.sock;
fastcgi_cache one;
fastcgi_cache_key unix:/tmp/cgi.sock.1$request_uri;
fastcgi_cache_valid 200 302 5m;
fastcgi_cache_valid 301 1d;
fastcgi_cache_valid any 5m;
include /usr/local/nginx/conf/fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_buffers 64 4k;
}

then files wind up in the cache. So I know the cache is configured and
working.

Is there a way to log cache hits and misses?

Then change the locations order:

location ~ .(jpg|gif|png)$ {
}

location ~ myscript {
}

It seems that your images have “myscript” string.

Jim

what about parsing log file and capturing for w.e code you decide to
cache then use sort and uniq and other tools like awk to come up with
your own stats…
