nginx cache not seeming to work?

[viraladmin]

So i have enabled caching template. All the Proxy Extensions are defaults:

Code: Select all

jpeg, jpg, png, gif, bmp, ico, svg, tif, tiff, css, js, htm, html, ttf, otf, webp, woff, txt, csv, rtf, doc, docx, xls, xlsx, ppt, pptx, odf, odp, ods, odt, pdf, psd, ai, eot, eps, ps, zip, tar, tgz, gz, rar, bz2, 7z, aac, m4a, mp3, mp4, ogg, wav, wma, 3gp, avi, flv, m4v, mkv, mov, mpeg, mpg, wmv, exe, iso, dmg, swf

This is a fairly active domain that uses about a TB of bandwidth per month.

Yet 24 hours after enabling

Code: Select all

/var/cache/nginx/$domain

is still completely empty. We serve up a LOT of js, css, pngs and jpgs so I would expect something to be in the caching folder yet nothing...

And yes $domain is a representation of the actual domain name.

Any ideas?

Perhaps go through the nginx cache guide...

Hi there,
I have the same doubt... In the nginx config with template Caching, we find :

Code: Select all

...
location ~* ^.+\.(jpeg|jpg|png|gif|bmp|ico|svg|tif|tiff|css|js|htm|html|ttf|otf|webp|woff|txt|csv|rtf|doc|docx|xls|xlsx|ppt|pptx|odf|odp|ods|odt|pdf|psd|ai|eot|eps|ps|zip|tar|tgz|gz|rar|bz2|7z|aac|m4a|mp3|mp4|ogg|wav|wma|3gp|avi|flv|m4v|mkv|mov|mpeg|mpg|wmv|exe|iso|dmg|swf)$ {
            proxy_cache    off;
...

I'm confused. Does this mean that there is no caching for all this extensions ??
