ngnix Not Clearing Cache

    Hi!

    First of all, I am at the beginning of debugging this problem but I think I have an idea of what is going on. The problem appears to be that nginx is not clearing the local cache when the website is updated – which results in nginx’s cache being re-cached by CF.

    A quick summary:

    1. User updated website page/post.
    2. The plugin tells CF to clear the cache for the pages/posts being updated.
    3. Reloading the website indicates no changes were made.
    4. Clear nginx cache manually and then re-purging the CF cache for the page appears to fix the problem.

    At least, this is what makes sense to me. I have added the location rules into the website’s conf file for ngnix.

    But… ngnix seems to want to keep everything to itself.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi @sbirley,
    It seems that you might have nginx level fastcgi cache in place. Please note that it is highly recommended not to have more than one page caching system for any website as they will conflict with each other.

    When using this plugin which is handling your page caching, I will not recommend you to have another server level page caching system as this lead to having the problems you are experiencing.

    What happens is when you update a page/post this plugin the talks to CF to ask them to purge the cache, but this plugin cannot talk with your server level page caching system and hence the server level page caching system don’t purge the cache.
