前言简介
Nginx与Apache都是非常优秀的WEB服务器,不过近年来 Nginx 越来越火,而 Apache 显得有些老态,特别是在高访问量的场景下, Nginx 的处理效率确实不俗。
如果出于某种原因仍然喜欢Apache,并且想加快WordPress网站的速度,则可以在Apache前面放置一个Nginx反向代理缓存解决方案。
本文介绍的方法中,Nginx反向代理缓存会在Apache前面运行,nginx侦听端口80,而Apache侦听端口8080,nginx将负责缓存它可以缓存的所有,同时将其他请求发送到Apache,由Apache处理PHP、MySQL或MariaDB。

注意:不教程不适应于WooCommerce。后续可能会发布适用于WooCommerce的Nginx代理缓存教程。如果您有什么好的建议,欢迎与我们联系。
Apache配置步骤
打开Apache端口文件:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/ports.conf
Listen 8080
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/wordpress.conf
<VirtualHost *:8080>
安装Nginx
sudo apt-get install nginx nginx-extras -y
配置nginx:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/reverse

如果在proxy_cache_path文件夹中查找,则会看到一堆看似随机的字母和数字,这些字母和数字由levels=1:2决定。这看起来令人困惑,因为nginx将缓存存储为基于的URL的md5哈希值proxy_cache_key。我们在上面的配置中使用了$scheme$host$uri。
$scheme=http$host=domain$request_uri=URL
例如 https://www.zhanzhangb.com/contact-us 这个页面:
$scheme是 https$host是 www.zhanzhangb.com$request_uri是 /contact-us
我们可以通过md5生成器来显示它:
echo https://www.zhanzhangb.com/contact-us | md5sum
5e23a4727f38b99583b20a8381670e0b
nginx基于proxy_cache_path levels=1:2 来创建文件目录结构 。
这里的 levels=1:2,1(代表 7)成为顶级目录, 2(代表b1)成为其子目录, md5哈希作为文件名,所以https://www.zhanzhangb.com/contact-us这个页面存储的路径为:
/var/run/proxy-cache/7/b1/5e23a4727f38b99583b20a8381670e0b
清除Nginx反向代理缓存
rm -R /var/run/proxy-cache/*
