aaPanel_Jose What is benefit of FastCGI cache?
6 days later
is the Nginx Helper wp plugin necessary for fastcgi cache to work or it's just for the purge cache to work? because I do it manually anyway

Hi, I did follow your instruction and it worked, thanks for the tutorial.
But, I got a problem that is when I enable "Anti-XSS attack (Base directory limit)(open_basedir)" feature for the website, I can't do "Purge Cache" from the Nginx-Helper plugin, there was no-showed error, I clicked on it, and I check the cache folder in the server, the cached files were still there.
"Purge Cache" works well when I disable "Anti-XSS attack (Base directory limit)(open_basedir)".
So, is there any solution to that? I want to enable "Anti-XSS attack (Base directory limit)(open_basedir)"
This doesn't work if Wordpress is in a subdirectory, what should be modified for it to work?

Hello, try to add the relevant directory to the .uer.ini file
aaPanel_Kern Thank you! it works well now. 
I want to share my work here.
I did update the file: /www/server# vim panel/class/panelSite.py
As you can see in the picture, I added /dev/shm, /dev/shm is my cache path.
Do not forget to restart the panel to apply your change.
@aaPanel_Kern any advices to make the fastcgi cache works if wordpress is running in a subdirectory?

The same, except that the site data storage directory is different
aaPanel_Kern But I followed the same steps and I'm getting a 502 Nginx Error

It is recommended that you use Wordpress deploy for deployment and enable caching

Tried so many times, when we use Fast CGI cache with NGINX helper security headers are not detected.

Hello, it is recommended to modify the configuration and add it yourself

I had added the headers in site config. Here are the headers that i added in site config. Without NGINX cache (NGINX Helper) its working fine.
add_header X-XSS-Protection "1; mode=block";
add_header X-Frame-Options "ALLOW-FROM *";
add_header X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff" always;
add_header Referrer-Policy "strict-origin-when-cross-origin";
add_header Permissions-Policy "geolocation=(),midi=(),sync-xhr=(),microphone=(),camera=(),magnetometer=(),gyroscope=(),fullscreen=(self),payment=()";
add_header Content-Security-Policy "upgrade-insecure-requests";
Permission, referral and content security is what having problems.

look confing PHP conf

/www/server/nginx/conf
Modify this file. Pay attention to backup first
aaPanel_Kern Worked perfectly. Thanks for your help. I think you can add this into the guide.

Hello, I have done the steps here:
- Added these 4 lines in nginx configuration
fastcgi_cache_key "$scheme$request_method$host$request_uri"; fastcgi_cache_path /dev/shm/nginx-cache/wp levels=1:2 keys_zone=WORDPRESS:100m inactive=60m max_size=1g; fastcgi_cache_use_stale error timeout invalid_header http_500; fastcgi_ignore_headers Cache-Control Expires Set-Cookie; - Changed the site configuation from
include enable-php-81.conf;toinclude enable-php-81-wpfastcgi.conf; - Installed Nginx Helper plugin in Wordpress
- Added
define('RT_WP_NGINX_HELPER_CACHE_PATH','/dev/shm/nginx-cache/wp');to wp-config.php
And everything seems to work, I get cache HIT in the header response for the wordpress site main page. Except when I try to go to any other page, I get 404. I notice that the url that doesn't work follows index.php routing page forexample: https://domain.com/index.php/contact/ to go to contact page. What am I missing here? Any ideas?
Regards,
Tony
