Engintron - K2 - Joomla - Frontend Login about engintron HOT 9 CLOSED

I try to find a solution as many websites need front end sessions to to able to manipulated user logins. eshops, blogs etc.

After extensive testing, I can't recommend Engintron for this use case. This is because Joomla hardcodes token on all forms making things more difficult for users who wish to login and bypass caching provided by Nginx. In your case, I would recommend setting up Varnish in front of your cPanel server and using this configuration:

Varnish is a lot easier to install. Just use yum as sudo and simply change Apache's port to something else under "tweak settings" in cPanel. Make sure you paste back this port in Varnish's configuration so things work as they should.

I'm actually considering adding Varnish as an option in Engintron. More soon :)

Hello,
I had some login issues with WordPress too, but I removed the line proxy_hide_header Set-Cookie in proxy.conf file and now it works fine.

Also if we have nice config for nginx will be much better than Varnish.
Varnish do not have ssl support, so with nginx in front we can have proxy, server for static files and ssl support - all in one

@AgentGod Can you confirm if the content is indeed cached after you edited the proxy.conf file?

from engintron.

@fevangelou I am new in VPS/WHM arena and I don't know exactly how to check it, but what I do is runnung /usr/local/apache/bin/ab -n 1000 -c 10 http://xxxxxxxx.xxx/ before and after, so before Engintron instalation I have 50 requests per second on clean WP install with default theme, after Engintron I have about 12000 requests per second /with and without edited proxy.conf file/, so I think pages are cached.

If you open your browser's dev tools (Chrome DevTools, Firebug etc.) and check the network tab, as you browse the site, you can see the server headers under the page's response entry. There you will see an option called "x-cache" which can switch from "hit" to "miss". Hit means the cache is working as you browse, miss means it doesn't.

Yepp, X-Cache is HIT, it's working.

Thank you. Updated Engintron.
