Cache data are stored in files. Both the key and file name in a cache are a result of applying the MD5 function to the proxied URL. The <literal>levels</literal> parameter defines hierarchy levels of a cache. For example, in the following configuration <example> fastcgi_cache_path /data/nginx/cache levels=1:2 keys_zone=one:10m; </example> file names in a cache will look like this: <example> /data/nginx/cache/<emphasis>c</emphasis>/<emphasis>29</emphasis>/b7f54b2df7773722d382f4809d650<emphasis>29c</emphasis> </example> </para> <para> A cached response is first written to a temporary file, then a file is renamed. Starting from version 0.8.9 temporary files and the cache can be put on different file systems but be aware that in this case a file is copied across two file systems instead of the cheap rename operation. It is thus recommended that for any given location both cache and a directory holding temporary files set by the <link id="fastcgi_temp_path"/> directive are put on the same file system. </para> <para> In addition, all active keys and information about data are stored in a shared memory zone, whose <value>name</value> and <value>size</value> are configured by the <literal>keys_zone</literal> parameter. Cached data that are not accessed during the time specified by the <literal>inactive</literal> parameter get removed from the cache regardless of their freshness. By default, <literal>inactive</literal> is set to 10 minutes. </para> <para> The special process “cache manager” monitors the maximum cache size set by the <literal>max_size</literal> parameter; when this size is exceeded it removes the least recently used data. </para> <para> A minute after the start the special process “cache loader” is activated that loads information about previously cached data stored on file system into a cache zone. A load is done in iterations. During one iteration no more than <literal>loader_files</literal> items are loaded (by default, 100). Besides, the duration of one iteration is limited by the <literal>loader_threshold</literal> parameter (by default, 200 milliseconds). A pause is made between iterations, configured by the <literal>loader_sleep</literal> parameter (by default, 50 milliseconds). </para> </directive> <directive name="fastcgi_cache_use_stale"> <syntax> <literal>error</literal> | <literal>timeout</literal> | <literal>invalid_header</literal> | <literal>updating</literal> | <literal>http_500</literal> | <literal>http_503</literal> | <literal>http_403</literal> | <literal>http_404</literal> | <literal>off</literal> ...</syntax> <default>off</default> <context>http</context> <context>server</context> <context>location</context> <para> If an error occurs while working with the FastCGI server it is possible to use a stale cached response.

The directive’s parameters match those of the <link id="fastcgi_next_upstream"/> directive. </para> <para> Additionally, the <literal>updating</literal> parameter permits to use a stale cached response if it is currently being updated. This allows to minimize the number of accesses to FastCGI servers when updating cached data. </para> <para> To minimize the number of accesses to FastCGI servers when populating a new cache element, the <link id="fastcgi_cache_lock"/> directive can be used. </para> </directive> <directive name="fastcgi_cache_valid"> <syntax>[<value>code</value> ...] <value>time</value></syntax> <default/> <context>http</context> <context>server</context> <context>location</context> <para> Sets caching time for different response codes. For example, the following directives <example> fastcgi_cache_valid 200 302 10m; fastcgi_cache_valid 404 1m; </example> set 10 minutes of caching for responses with codes 200 and 302, and 1 minute for responses with code 404. </para> <para> If only caching <value>time</value> is specified <example> fastcgi_cache_valid 5m; </example> then only 200, 301, and 302 responses are cached. </para> <para> In addition, it can be specified to cache any responses using the <literal>any</literal> parameter: <example> fastcgi_cache_valid 200 302 10m; fastcgi_cache_valid 301 1h; fastcgi_cache_valid any 1m; </example> </para> <para> Parameters of caching can also be set directly in the response header. This has a higher precedence than setting of caching time using the directive. The <header>X-Accel-Expires</header> header field sets caching time of a response in seconds. The value 0 disables to cache a response. If a value starts with the prefix <literal>@</literal>, it sets an absolute time in seconds since Epoch, up to which the response may be cached. If header does not include the <header>X-Accel-Expires</header> field, parameters of caching may be set in the header fields <header>Expires</header> or <header>Cache-Control</header>. If a header includes the <header>Set-Cookie</header> field, such a response will not be cached.

If the <value>string</value> is found then it is considered that the FastCGI server returned an <link id="fastcgi_next_upstream">invalid response</link>. This allows to handle application errors in nginx, for example: <example> location /php { fastcgi_pass backend:9000; ... fastcgi_catch_stderr "PHP Fatal error"; fastcgi_next_upstream error timeout invalid_header; } </example> </para> </directive> <directive name="fastcgi_connect_timeout"> <syntax><value>time</value></syntax> <default>60s</default> <context>http</context> <context>server</context> <context>location</context> <para> Defines a timeout for establishing a connection with the FastCGI server.

The <literal>fastcgi_hide_header</literal> directive sets additional fields that will not be passed.

The maximum size of a temporary file is set by the <link id="fastcgi_max_temp_file_size"/> directive. </para> </directive> <directive name="fastcgi_temp_path"> <syntax> <value>path</value> [<value>level1</value> [<value>level2</value> [<value>level3</value>]]]</syntax> <default>fastcgi_temp</default> <context>http</context> <context>server</context> <context>location</context> <para> Defines a directory for storing temporary files with data received from FastCGI servers. Up to three-level subdirectory hierarchy can be used underneath the specified directory. For example, in the following configuration <example> fastcgi_temp_path /spool/nginx/fastcgi_temp 1 2; </example> a temporary file might look like this: <example> /spool/nginx/fastcgi_temp/<emphasis>7</emphasis>/<emphasis>45</emphasis>/00000123<emphasis>457</emphasis> </example> </para> </directive> </section> <section id="parameters" name="Parameters Passed to a FastCGI Server"> <para> HTTP request header fields are passed to the FastCGI server as parameters. In applications and scripts running as FastCGI servers, these parameters are usually made available as environment variables. For example, the <header>User-Agent</header> header field is passed as the <literal>HTTP_USER_AGENT</literal> parameter. In addition to HTTP request header fields it is possible to pass arbitrary parameters using the <link id="fastcgi_param"/> directive. </para> </section> <section id="variables" name="Embedded Variables"> <para> The <literal>ngx_http_fastcgi_module</literal> module supports embedded variables that can be used to set parameters using the <link id="fastcgi_param"/> directive: <list type="tag"> <tag-name><var>$fastcgi_script_name</var></tag-name> <tag-desc> request URI or, if a URI ends with a slash, request URI with an index file name configured by the <link id="fastcgi_index"/> directive appended to it. This variable can be used to set the <literal>SCRIPT_FILENAME</literal> and <literal>PATH_TRANSLATED</literal> parameters that determine the script name in PHP. For example, for the “<literal>/info/</literal>” request with the following directives <example> fastcgi_index index.php; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /home/www/scripts/php$fastcgi_script_name; </example> the <literal>SCRIPT_FILENAME</literal> parameter will be equal to “<literal>/home/www/scripts/php/info/index.php</literal>”. <para> When using the <link id="fastcgi_split_path_info"/> directive, the <var>$fastcgi_script_name</var> variable equals to the value of the first capture set by the directive. </para> </tag-desc> <tag-name><var>$fastcgi_path_info</var></tag-name> <tag-desc>the value of the second capture set by the <link id="fastcgi_split_path_info"/> directive.
