EasyEngine with WpTouch-Pro-3

WordPress Nginx
#1

Hi, I have been using EasyEngine for my Wordpress blog on a linode and it works great. I’m using WpTouch-Pro-3 plugin in conjunction with W3 Total Cache plugin (Single site). The issue that I’m running into is that when I view the site in mobile/tablets, it gets switched to Desktop theme instead of staying with the mobile theme.

After contacting WpTouch-Pro-3 support, they recommended to disable the Browser cache in W3 Total Cache plugin which I did but no success since the problem continues to exist.

After googling, I found this thread which is exactly what I need to do:

In EasyEngine setup, the fastcgi configurations are stored in 2 locations:

/etc/nginx/conf.d/fastcgi.conf
/usr/share/easyengine/nginx/conf.d/fastcgi.conf

I searched around in this site but no success. So here’s my question:

  1. To store the different cache for mobile & desktop themes, the post suggests to change the parameter fastcgi_cache_key. Can I simply update both above files or should I directly override this in the site’s nginx config such as in the top of the file above Server configuration? What’s the recommended method?

  2. To purge a selected theme from cache, what changes should I be doing to this configuration?

Since this is on the production site, I don’t want to change them directly w/o understanding the consequences.

Thanks for your support, JK

We recommend to add custom changed in site specific nginx configuration.

2) To purge a selected theme from cache, what changes should I be doing to this configuration?

I guess you want to purge mobile cache and keep as it is desktop cache right?

For 1) OK. Should I move all contents of /etc/nginx/conf.d/fastcgi.conf to top of site specific NGINX configuration (i.e., above server line)?

For 2), yes, I want the ability to purge just the mobile version cache if needed.

thanks.

Hi jkfriends,

  1. You should add this configuration in server { Block. as it will be specified for that website. You need to add following in server block.
  
set $mobile_request 0;  
fastcgi_cache_key "$scheme$request_method$host$request_uri$mobile_request";  
if ($http_user_agent ~* "(2\.0 MMP|240x320|400X240|AvantGo|BlackBerry|Blazer|Cellphone|Danger|DoCoMo|Elaine\/3\.0|EudoraWeb|Googlebot-Mobile|hiptop|IEMobile|KYOCERA\/WX310K|LG\/U990|MIDP-2\.|MMEF20|MOT-V|NetFront|Newt|Nintendo Wii|Nitro|Nokia|Opera Mini|Palm|PlayStation Portable|portalmmm|Proxinet|ProxiNet|SHARP-TQ-GX10|SHG-i900|Small|SonyEricsson|Symbian OS|SymbianOS|TS21i-10|UP\.Browser|UP\.Link|webOS|Windows CE|WinWAP|YahooSeeker\/M1A1-R2D2|NF-Browser|iPhone|iPad|iPod|Android|BlackBerry9530|G-TU915 Obigo|LGE VX|webOS|Nokia5800)" ) {  

	set $mobile_request 1;  

}  

if ($http_cookie ~ 'wptouch-pro-view=desktop') {  
	set $mobile_request 0;  
}

Note : We don’t tested this on WP Touch Pro. If you face any problem let us know.

  1. We currently have no mechanism to purge mobile version of cache.
