hey,

first i installed nginx as webserver and with php7
it runs and site is working but not fast yet.

then i tryed fastcgi cache i followed some guides online trying to make something for directadmin use.
since directadmin doesn't have a working howto (not that i find)
i tryed to test fastcgi cache with curl and a time script that should be cached from the manual i saw.

from the manual it should be all the same number so it doesn't work:
[root@test ~]# curl http://www.aloeverawinkel.be/time.php;echo
1542721024
[root@test ~]# curl http://www.aloeverawinkel.be/time.php;echo
1542721027
[root@test ~]# curl http://www.aloeverawinkel.be/time.php;echo
1542721030
[root@test ~]#


in the logs nothing that helps me i'm caching in /var/nginx/cache
directory created and with permission correct i guess:
[root@test ~]# ls -l /var
total 80
drwxr-xr-x 3 nginx nginx 4096 Nov 19 20:19 nginx

[root@test ~]# ls -l /var/nginx
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 nginx nginx 4096 Nov 19 20:19 cache
[root@test ~]#

so i guess its correct since nginx is running under nginx:

in directadmin.conf i have this related to nginx:
nginx=1
nginx_proxy=0

when i try to get headers with curl i get this:

[root@test aloevera]# curl -X GET -I http://www.aloeverawinkel.be/
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

[root@test aloevera]#

all times the same

i really don't know what to do i tryed nginx_apache first that was a mess to due of lack of good manuals here for people that don't work all day with it ;)

and now i try pure nginx with php and still the same not working...

i hope someone can give me something that it could work with or even if you don't trust here to put an good example pm is allowed with config where to do what?

i allready tryed +40 hours changing and changing to get this working (together with the tryes of nginx-apache)

I really hope someone wants to give me the correct ways how to do it and wants to put an infort to help me for someone with the knowledge its only a fraction of the time for a newbie to find out it, and we all started somewhere.

i know i could do google pageload module etc to help it faster but i want to try fastcgi first this is my problem that i can't get it working.

Greets,
Alex
 
and i know editing and make changes to /usr/local/directadmin/data/users/ is gone but its the fastest way to test and tryout if you don't want to lose time with rebuild configs etc.
if i know how i can still edit the right configs and set it all ok :)
 
Hello Alex,

For NGINX+Apache you need to use proxy cache directives in NGINX and enable nginx proxy buffering in directadmin.conf. Check it here: https://help.poralix.com/articles/nginx-does-not-cache-data-on-directadmin-server


As for now though I get the headers: no-cache


Code:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: nginx
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Connection: keep-alive
Vary: Accept-Encoding
Date: Mon, 26 Nov 2018 16:54:14 GMT
X-Page-Speed: Powered By ngx_pagespeed
Cache-Control: max-age=0, no-cache

content seems still to be cached:

Code:
1543251231

i.e. 11/26/2018 @ 4:53pm (UTC) and the current time is 4:58pm (UTC)
