Setting up nginx cache, not getting the expected result.

[gl00ten]

I have this code:

# class: test::nginx
class test::nginx {
  # create directories here if needed
  # $dirs = ['/dir1', '/dir1/dir2, '/dir3',]
  #
  #  file { $dirs:
  #    ensure => directory,
  #    mode   => '0755',
  #  }

  class { '::nginx':
    proxy_cache_path => '/data/nginx/cache keys_zone=one:10m',
  }

  # maybe this resource is not necessary
  nginx::resource::vhost { 'test2.local':
    ensure   => present,
    www_root => '/var/www',
  }

  nginx::resource::location { 'cached':
    ensure      => present,
    www_root    => 'var/www',
    vhost       => 'test2.local',
    location    => '/cached',
    # 'one' comes from proxy path, most likely
    proxy_cache => 'one',
  }
}

But in the generated sites-enabled/test2.local.conf there is no:

    server {
        proxy_cache one;

as decribed here : http://nginx.com/resources/admin-guide/caching/

Am I missing something?

I'm trying to use this also on PE 3.3.0 (3.6.2). It seems that part of the config is not created. Anyone else able to confirm it?

The problem remains, but there was something experimental I forgot to remove in the code on my issue. Please look at it now.

The proxy parameter has to be set for the location resource to use the proxy template. The proxy value will get passed to the proxy_pass nginx directive.

Also note that you can't set proxy and www_root at the same time so be aware of that when you update your code.

Ty 3flex. Will I have to do anything about www_root in the vhost resource?

No, should work as is.

@fullmooninu did this answer your question? Please consider closing this issue if so. Thanks!

Think so. Closing it. Thank you =)
