Nginx stops proxy_cache under siege or with curl request when page's cache is out of date

http://serverfault.com – I try to serve an index page with nginx, using it's proxy_cache functionality. Everything works fine regards ordinary browsing with broswers. But when I try to get page's content with curl or when I use siege on the index page, nginx begins to work not as I have expected. It passes the request further to apache when page's cache is out of date. I can't understand, why nginx doesn't create a new cache of the index page when it was requested with curl or siege? Here is a part of nginx.conf: proxy_cache_path /var/cache/nginx levels=2 keys_zone=pagecache:100m inactive=1m max_size=500m; (HowTos)

I have a website running Nginx and Apache, ...Apache deals with PHP files, and Nginx the html static files, we have now changed the site so there are no html static files, only PHP files and this has heavy load on the server, so I wanted to put the nginx as a reverse proxy cache, so that the php files coming from Apache will be cached and delivered static...

I'm using php-fpm with nginx as http server (I don't know much about reverse proxies, I just installed it and didn't touch anything), without Apache nor Varnish.

I need nginx to understand and honor the http headers I send.

i have some trouble configuring nginx as reverse proxy. it is good to say i have a vps with kloxo and webmin installed and running multiple domains on my vps.

i have installed nginx via REPEL and YUM. and this is my /etc/nginx/nginx.conf file pastebin.com/2yCndm6B

i change apache port to 8080 and restart service for making changes and start nginx and there is some problem.

Since enabling the fastcgi_cache on my nginx server, my php-enabled custom error page has suddenly stopped working and I'm getting the internal 404 message instead.

In nginx.conf:

fastcgi_cache_path /var/lib/nginx/fastcgicache levels=1:2 keys_zone=MYCACHE:5m inactive=2h max_size=1g loader_files=1000 loader_threshold=2000; map $http_cookie $no_cache { default 0; ~SESS 1; } fastcgi_cache_key "$sc

Looking to convert the follow Apache rewrite rules over to Nginx.

Please assume that there is a PHP CMS that retrieves content according to IDs from database.

So every time you visit this website it interacts with Database and Processes the PHP request.

Now my question is: Can Nginx or Varnish cache and store a page after user visited that page? so next time if any user visits that page it would load faster.

I want to set up nginx as my web server. I want to have image files cached in the memory (RAM) rather then disk. I am serving a small page and want few images always served from RAM. I dont wish to use varnish (or any other such tools) for this as I believe nginx has a capability to cache contents into RAM. I am not sure as how may I configure nginx for this?

I have a master caching server with nginx. Its setup with proxy_pass and proxy_cache. But I want to add more nginx caching servers in other locations that will all contain the same contents with master cache server. So it wouldnt matter to which server I send the request. Is it possible to just rsync the cache directory across all the servers?

I have WP installed on my VPS (with nginx 1.3.12 and php5-fpm 5.4.11).

The first page of search results (/?s=test) is loaded properly, but /page/2/?s=test displays the same content of /page/2/ (so ?s=test isn't taken into account).

It's probably something wrong with my nginx config:

location ~ \.php$ { try_files $uri =404; fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$; include /etc/nginx/fastcgi.con
