Configuring Varnish to work with Apache on Ubuntu 14.04 is largely similar to this article covering 12.04.
I just ran through a basic set up on 14.04. The first step is to install Apache and Varnish:
sudo apt-get install varnish apache2
Then we need to configure Varnish to listen on port 80. Edit the file /etc/default/varnish
Find the section begin with “Alternative 2, Configuration with VCL” Make sure it’s uncommented and update the port:
DAEMON_OPTS="-a :80 \
-T localhost:6082 \
-f /etc/varnish/default.vcl \
-S /etc/varnish/secret \
-s malloc,256m"
Next we need to adjust Apache to listen on port 8080. Edit /etc/apache2/ports.conf
and change Listen 80
to Listen 8080
Then edit /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf
and change <VirtualHost *:80>
to <VirtualHost *:8080>
Finally, restart Varnish and Apache with:
sudo service apache2 restart
sudo service varnish restart
Varnish is now sitting in front of Apache and serving cached content.
I followed these instructions and my site is being served however I’m not seeing any varnish headers. Am I missing a step?
Thanx
