Proxy_cache is not working

Server NGINX
1

nginx is not caching anything. Every request that’s supposed to be
cached
has “http cacheable: 0” in debug log.

Test request is a static page with headers like those

< HTTP/1.1 200 OK
< Date: Tue, 17 May 2016 12:23:36 GMT
< Server: Apache/2.2.15 (CentOS)
< X-Powered-By: PHP/5.5.32
< Content-Length: 5
< Connection: close
< Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8

Can you please suggest anything?

You need to configure proxy_cache_valid for nginx to cache such a
response, see Module ngx_http_proxy_module.

It was already set but apparently wasn’t being used.

location /static/ {
try_files $uri @apache-cache;
proxy_cache_valid 5m;
}

location @apache-cache {
…
proxy_ignore_headers Set-Cookie Expires Cache-Control;
proxy_hide_header Set-Cookie;

internal;

}

Moved this directive to second location and now it’s all fine.

Thanks!
