I am having a little trouble. I followed the tutorials step by step at rtcamp.com for wordpress multisite, only changing the ‘example.com’ to my domain name. I have the nginx helper plugin installed and it looks like the whole site and everything works great. (It’s a network of about 40 sites moved from a LAMP setup)

I’m having an issue though. Even with the configuration using the fastcgi_cache, my page load time is extremely high. This is what it reads when I view the source code timestamp:

<!--Cached using Nginx-Helper on 2013-03-12 00:21:19. It took 62 queries executed in 13.000 seconds.
Visit http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/nginx-helper/faq/ for more details -->

This doesn't happen with the root site, only with the sub-directory sites.

Here are my configs: This is the sites-available/example.com

#move next 3 lines to /etc/nginx/nginx.conf if you want to use fastcgi_cache across many sites 
fastcgi_cache_path /var/run/nginx-cache levels=1:2 keys_zone=WORDPRESS:500m inactive=60m;
fastcgi_cache_key "$scheme$request_method$host$request_uri";
fastcgi_cache_use_stale error timeout invalid_header http_500;

    #@DM - uncomment following line for domain mapping or you will need to add every mapped-domain to server_name list 
    #listen 80 default_server;

    #fastcgi_cache start
    set $skip_cache 0;

    # POST requests and urls with a query string should always go to PHP
    if ($request_method = POST) {
        set $skip_cache 1;
    }   
    if ($query_string != "") {
        set $skip_cache 1;
    }   

    # Don't cache uris containing the following segments
    if ($request_uri ~* "(/wp-admin/|/xmlrpc.php|/wp-(app|cron|login|register|mail).php|wp-.*.php|/feed/|index.php|wp-comments-popup.php|wp-links-opml.php|wp-locations.php|sitemap(_index)?.xml|[a-z0-9_-]+-sitemap([0-9]+)?.xml)") {

    }   

    # Don't use the cache for logged in users or recent commenters
    if ($http_cookie ~* "comment_author|wordpress_[a-f0-9]+|wp-postpass|wordpress_no_cache|wordpress_logged_in") {
        set $skip_cache 1;
    }

        if (!-e $request_filename) {
                rewrite /wp-admin$ $scheme://$host$uri/ permanent;

            fastcgi_no_cache $skip_cache;

        fastcgi_cache WORDPRESS;
        fastcgi_cache_valid  60m;
    }

    location ~ /purge(/.*) {

Help with this problem would be highly appreciated! :)

How do you establish is slow ? Did you enable any sort of limits into php-fpm ? Send the log files from php-fpm and nginx.

  • Well I consider it slow because it's taking upward of 13 seconds to load the page. I haven't changed anything in the php-fpm settings. I'm still learning this part of everything, and the tutorial I used didn't mention any changes to the php-fpm config. What sort of changes can I make? Here is the php5-fpm.log: Mar 13, 2013 at 2:39
  • Here is the php5-fpm.log: [12-Mar-2013 02:40:30] NOTICE: fpm is running, pid 15715 [12-Mar-2013 02:40:30] NOTICE: ready to handle connections [12-Mar-2013 02:53:05] WARNING: [pool www] server reached pm.max_children setting (5), consider raising it [12-Mar-2013 03:06:22] NOTICE: Finishing ... [12-Mar-2013 03:06:22] NOTICE: exiting, bye-bye! Mar 13, 2013 at 2:46
  • And there are several entries like this in the Nginx error log: 2013/03/12 02:46:27 [error] 15735#0: *4804 FastCGI sent in stderr: "Primary script unknown" while reading response header from upstream, client: 102.94.37.89, server: example.com, request: "POST /toysandgames/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron=1363070786.9193959236145019531250 HTTP/1.0", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock:", host: "example.com" Mar 13, 2013 at 3:13
  • And in the nginx access log there are LOTS of these: 174.129.102.11 - - [12/Mar/2013:23:02:35 -0400] "-" 400 0 "-" "-" However I have that ip address blocked in iptables... so I thought, I'll double check that. Mar 13, 2013 at 3:16

limit_req_zone limits requests to the server to one request per sec in limit_req_zone $binary_remote_addr zone=one:10m rate=1r/s;, that includes PHP and static files requests depending on where you placed the limit_req zone=one; statement. Try to limit only PHP requests (inside location ~ \.php$ {) and leave static content unrestricted.

  • nginx official document mentioned its better place inside the http block
