Hi @MrStarfish,

Looking at the configuration, I would assume you’ve actually followed this tutorial - https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-setup-fastcgi-caching-with-nginx-on-your-vps .

Can you confirm you’ve followed this part as I can’t see it on the screenshots :

*Next, move the location directive that passes PHP requests to php5-fpm. Inside “location ~ .php$ { }” add the following lines.

fastcgi_cache MYAPP;
fastcgi_cache_valid 200 60m;

The “fastcgicache” directive references to the memory zone name which we specified in the “fastcgicache_path” directive and stores the cache in this area.*

Please try and configure this and see if everything will work properly then.

Regards, KDSys
