💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'temp' or 'logs' which are not standard cache directories.

Leaving the directory name empty.

The proxy_cache_path directive requires the directory path where cached files are stored. Here, cache is the correct directory name.

Complete the code to set the cache zone name.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using names with spaces or special characters.

Using generic names like 'temp_zone' that don't reflect cache.

The keys_zone parameter defines the name of the shared memory zone for caching keys. my_cache is a common example name.

Fix the error in the cache levels configuration.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using commas or dashes instead of colons.

Using only one number without colon.

The levels parameter requires colon-separated numbers like 1:2. Commas or dashes are invalid syntax.

Fill both blanks to configure cache size and inactive time.

Nginx

proxy_cache_path /var/cache/nginx/cache levels=1:2 keys_zone=my_cache:10m max_size=[1] inactive=[2] use_temp_path=off;

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Mixing up max_size and inactive values.

Using invalid units or no units.

max_size sets the maximum cache size, commonly 1g for 1 gigabyte. inactive sets how long cached items stay without access, here 60m for 60 minutes.

Fill all three blanks to complete the proxy_cache_path with temp path usage off.

Nginx

proxy_cache_path /var/cache/nginx/cache levels=[1] keys_zone=[2]:10m max_size=[3] inactive=60m use_temp_path=off;

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using wrong levels format like '2:3' when '1:2' is standard.

Using incorrect keys_zone names.

Setting max_size without units.

The correct configuration uses levels=1:2, keys_zone=my_cache:10m, and max_size=1g to properly set cache directory structure, zone name, and size.
