caching - nginx - create multiple cache paths -

i new nginx, i'm not sure if possible.

however, attempting create short, long, , never caches sites use.

i naively attempted set these in http block:

proxy_cache_path /var/cache/nginx levels=1:2 keys_zone=short:10m; proxy_cache short; proxy_cache_key "short:$scheme$proxy_host$uri$is_args$args"; proxy_cache_valid 2m; proxy_cache_path /data/nginx/cache levels=1:2 keys_zone=long:10m; proxy_cache long; proxy_cache_key "long:$scheme$proxy_host$uri$is_args$args"; proxy_cache_valid 1h; proxy_cache_path /data/nginx/cache levels=1:2 keys_zone=day:10m; proxy_cache never; proxy_cache_key "long:$scheme$proxy_host$uri$is_args$args"; proxy_cache_valid 1d; proxy_cache off;

upon reload throws next error:

[emerg]: "proxy_cache" directive duplicate in

how can setup different cache paths share among virtual hosts?

the proxy_cache directive means "use cache right in block" using directive multiple times nginx can't decide cache utilize , shows , error. must remove proxy_cache , proxy_cache_valid directives , utilize 1 of each @ time in location and/or server blocks.

you must know usage of proxy_cache , proxy_cache_valid directives forbidden in if blocks may not want way (i'm assuming select particular cache based on test).

therefore, other approach utilize specific headers in upstream's reply. can utilize 1 of next headers set caching time :

x-accel-expires cache-control expires

nginx honor these headers default. can tell him ignore of when deciding caching duration proxy_ignore_headers.
