I'm stuck at some point in the installation of Varnish. This is how it looked like before the Varnish: Nginx Reverse Proxy + Apache + Centos 6 64 Bit

I installed the Varnish and set the ports as following. First of all we want to remove Nginx Reverse Proxy and switch to Apache completely. Because Varnish is not working properly at the moment.

DEFAULT.VCL

backend default {

.host = "127.0.0.1";

.port = "8080";

.first_byte_timeout = 60s;

.connect_timeout = 300s;
}

VARNISH

DAEMON_OPTS="-a :80 \

-T localhost:6082 \

-f /etc/varnish/default.vcl \

-u varnish -g varnish \

-S /etc/varnish/secret \

-s file,/var/lib/varnish/varnish_storage.bin,256m"

httpd.conf

#
# Change this to Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to 
# prevent Apache from glomming onto all bound IP addresses.
#
#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 8080

nginx-vhosts.conf

  server {
        listen       176.xx.xx.xx:80;
        listen       127.0.0.1:80;
        #listen       [::1]:80;
        server_name  $hostname 176.xx.xx.xx;

        root   /var/www/html;
        index  index.html index.htm index.php;

        include /etc/nginx/nginx-userdir.conf;

        location / {
                access_log off;
                proxy_pass http://176.xx.xx.xx:8080;
                proxy_set_header X-Client-IP      $remote_addr;
                proxy_set_header X-Accel-Internal /nginx_static_files;
                proxy_set_header Host             $host;
                proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For  $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        }

I used the curl -l command for localhost and domain.com. How should i set the ports and IPs in order to make Varnish work properly?

  • Please edit your question and provide information on how you expect traffic to flow through the various server processes. Also, in this case is Apache even in use? If not, remove it from the question, as it's just noise.

  • Actually we want to remove Nginx completely then use Apache + Varnish instead of it. I guess Nginx Reverse Proxy makes the problem right?,-

What's the problem? All seems correct. Remove Nginx. Then restart Apache and then restart Varnish.

  • Varnish seems in a passive state. imgur.com/OlnV2UO I guess Nginx creates a problem here.

  • It is obvious from your curl results that you have Varnish and Nginx listening on same port 80 but different interfaces. You said yourself you don't need Nginx. So do yourself a favor and remove it then restart the services to make sure Varnish listens on external interface :)

  • Make sure you removed Nginx: sudo apt-get remove nginx (Ubuntu) or yum remove nginx (CentOS / Redhat) . Remove any Listen 1.2.3.4:80 or Listen 80 directive in Apache. Restart Apache and Varnish.

  • Yes, Nginx has been removed. Now; backend default { .host = "MY SERVER IP"; .port = "8080"; .first_byte_timeout = 60s; .connect_timeout = 300s; VARNISH_LISTEN_PORT=80 Httpd.conf: Listen 8080 is it correct?
