I've searched everywhere for a working answer to this issue, but none of the answers seem to work. I'm also sorry for the super long post but I just need to ask for help on this. I've tried to be as detailed as possible.
I have an nginx webserver with ngx_pagespeed installed on CentOS 7 I built from source and for the life of me, I can't get cache-control or expire headers to work. I have searched and tried every suggested "solution" on here, StackOverflow, the nginx wiki, and have seen probably 50 different pages of different ways people have gotten theirs "working".
Now I know that ngx_pagespeed has their own caching, but my site doesn't seem to be benefiting from that. So I'm trying to set my own cache-control and expire headers for media (jpg, gif, etc). But, for the past 2 days, all I get is:
Output from curl -I
HTTP/2 200
server: nginx
content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
vary: Accept-Encoding
x-frame-options: SAMEORIGIN
x-xss-protection: 1; mode=block
strict-transport-security: max-age=31536000
x-content-type-options: nosniff
date: Tue, 26 Jun 2018 02:02:46 GMT
x-page-speed: Powered By ngx_pagespeed
cache-control: max-age=0, no-cache
I'm so frustrated over this. No matter what I try, I can't get anything other than
cache-control: max-age=0, no-cache from the curl.
Below are my config files. My site's config is in /etc/nginx/sites-available/conf and nginx's config file is in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf.
nginx.conf:
user centos;
worker_processes 1;
#error_log logs/error.log;
#error_log logs/error.log notice;
#error_log logs/error.log info;
#pid logs/nginx.pid;
events {
worker_connections 1024;
}
http {
include mime.types;
include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;
default_type application/octet-stream;
#log_format main '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local]
"$request" '
#'$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '
#'"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"';
#access_log logs/access.log main;
sendfile on;
#tcp_nopush on;
#keepalive_timeout 0;
keepalive_timeout 65;
#gzip on;
server {
listen 80;
server_name localhost;
}
I don't think the rest of nginx.conf is relevant. It's all commented out anyway by default. This file could be all kinds of wrong. I tried adding things here that I found that "fixed" it for other people.
site.conf
# don't send the nginx version number in error pages and Server header

These configs work and pass nginx -t but the caching just won't work. I have left all of my commented out code so you can see what I've done/tried. Any help here would be greatly appreciated. If I've missed any needed details, let me know. Thank you!
