I have uwsgi cache configured, but I want to make it work differently for different locations. My config:

uwsgi_cache_path /tmp/nginx_cache/ levels=1:2 keys_zone=mycache:60m inactive=10m;



server {

 listen *:80;

 server_name thewebsite.loc;





location @uwsgi {

    include uwsgi_params;

    uwsgi_cache mycache;

    uwsgi_cache_valid any 1h;

    uwsgi_cache_key $request_uri;

    uwsgi_pass unix:///var/run/app/uwsgi.sock;

    uwsgi_read_timeout 120s;

  }



  location / {

    try_files $uri @uwsgi;

  }

}

let's say, I want to disable cache for a particular location. I add after block for location / another location:

  location /dynamic{

     uwsgi_cache off;

     try_files $uri @uwsgi;

  }

But it doesn't work and the view still cached. Is it possible or not supposed to work like this at all?

UPD: I've also tried to configure cache in location /. In this case, it simply doesn't work.

When you access /dynamic the nginx sets uwsgi_cache off but then you redirect to @uwsgi location where you have cache enabled. I think that causes your problem.

Try moving cache config to server context:

uwsgi_cache_path /tmp/nginx_cache/ levels=1:2 keys_zone=mycache:60m inactive=10m;



server {

 listen *:80;

 server_name thewebsite.loc;



 uwsgi_cache mycache;

 uwsgi_cache_valid any 1h;

 uwsgi_cache_key $request_uri;



location @uwsgi {

    include uwsgi_params;

    uwsgi_pass unix:///var/run/app/uwsgi.sock;

    uwsgi_read_timeout 120s;

  }



  location / {

    try_files $uri @uwsgi;

  }



  location /dynamic {

     uwsgi_cache off;

     try_files $uri @uwsgi;

  }

}

CAUTION: I did not test this config, I'm not sure if it will work
