    @RoldanLT has a tendency to ask things on 200 forums, except AXIVO. :D
    I told him exactly what to do, but instead of following my advice, he posts things all over the places "hoping" it will work.

    Is it possible to use fast cgi cache path to a tmpfs partition without doing the trick for guests ?

    And it will really help or it is only for the trick with the guests?

    what do you mean tricks for guests ? fastcgi_cache is predominantly only used for caching for guests never logged in users - same goes for wordpress and fastcgi_cache - guests only

    It works only if you do the cookie trick for guests or it works in general for guests without any cookie settings?

    Every web/php app will need some form of cookie manipulation and/or understanding of that web/php app's cookie/session functionality to properly implement fastcgi_cache for nginx/php-fpm. It's one reason I can implememt fastcgi_cache for wordpress and just a bit off and not able to for xenforo as I know wordpress well and xenforo not as well. Hence, why fastcgi_cache is left to end users to do as it requires an understanding of the web/php app itself to properly implement. It's same for Varnish Cache too, understanding the web/php app is important - especially for how the web/php app deals and uses cookies/sessions for guests and non-guests.

    Hi,

    I just register here today.
    I came from IPB, just mover last weekend to XF and I'm loving this :)

    in IPB I use this same technic to cache pages for guest, but with xf I don't see xf_user or xf_user_admin in my headers,
    Do theses cookies still exists in XF1.4?

    I only see xf_session_admin and xf_session

    Thanks

    Stay logged in, must be checked always and hidden so that xf_user cookies will be available.

    @rdan @eva2000

    How can we exclude the forum homepage or set different cache time ?
    Thanks

    If you're not familar with fastcgi_cache, I would use a different caching method as fastcgi_cache is left to end user to customise. Though excluding home page location context / is difficult as is due to location match.

    As to changing time it's in fastcgi_cache_valid Module ngx_http_fastcgi_module

    One way is exclude the homepage i though but i didn't

    Actually, my forum installed on /forum/ directory and i've tried the exclude /forum/, /forum or like /forum/index.php but it didn't, it exludes all forum and sub pages.

    What are u using on that forum @eva2000 ? Only nginx pagespeed or what?
