I had failed attempts earlier at getting Nginx Fast-CGI caching to work in Nginx > Apache > PHP-FPM config so I started fresh on a new server but am still having issues.

The server has a clean Ubuntu 16.04 install with Nginx 1.14.2, Apache 2.4.18 and PHP-FPM 5.6 (just for testing sake).

My /etc/nginx/nginx.conf config is stock as I've only made changes in vhost (anything outside server block is effectively nginx.conf).

My apache2 test.mysite.com.conf is

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:8080>
        ServerName test.mysite.com
        DocumentRoot /var/www/
        ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
        CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
        ProxyPassMatch ^/(.*\.php(/.*)?)$ unix:/run/php/php5.6-fpm.sock|fcgi://localhost/var/www/
</VirtualHost>

To test caching, I have following in /var/www/cachetest.php

<?php
echo time();
?>

However testing http://test.mysite.com/cachetest.php changes every second and consequently /etc/nginx/cache is always empty (its 777 for now).

Any ideas why cache isn't working?

You can't fastcgi_cache because you never fastcgi_pass to PHP-FPM.

In nginx, the cache is attached to a specific method of sending requests upstream, e.g. fastcgi, proxy, uwsgi, etc.

You can either use a proxy_cache instead, or better yet, just fastcgi_pass to PHP-FPM directly from nginx, and get rid of Apache as it's redundant.
