I have the following config:
Nginx Varnish Gunicorn Django
I want to cache 2 versions of same site (mobile & web) with Varnish.
Gunicorn :
WEB: gunicorn_django --bind 127.0.0.1:8181
MOBILE: gunicorn_django --bind 127.0.0.1:8182
Nginx:
WEB:
server {
listen 80;
server_name www.mysite.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8282; # pass to Varnish
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}
}
MOBILE:
server {
listen 80;
server_name m.mysite.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8282; # pass to Varnish
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}
}
Varnish:
default.vcl
backend mobile_mysite {
.host = "127.0.0.1";
.port = "8182";
}
backend mysite {
.host = "127.0.0.1";
.port = "8181";
}
sub vcl_recv {
if (req.http.host ~ "(?i)^(m.)?mysite.com$") {
set req.http.host = "m.mysite.com";
set req.backend = mobile_mysite;
}elsif (req.http.host ~ "(?i)^(www.)?mysite.com$") {
set req.http.host = "mysite.com";
set req.backend = mysite;
}
if (req.url ~ ".*/static") {
/* do not cache static content */
return (pass);
}
}
The problem:
On Nginx if I setup Mobile version with Varnish (port 8282) and let WEB version with Gunicorn( port 8181), MOBILE is cached by varnish, both WEB & MOBILE works but WEB is not cached.
If I set the proxy_pass of WEB version to Varnish (port 8282) and restart Nginx I got an error when accessing web version (www.mysite.com) "Too many redirections" .
I Think my problem come from the Varnish config file, as the site works well if I setup Nginx proxy_pass to Gunicorn ports (MOBILE & WEB).
