Enable or disable Nginx FastCGI cache

Use the Enhance main control panel server with a valid cPFence license and a Super admin API key. WebUI users need access to the selected websites and permission for this action.

From the WebUI

1. Open Tools & Utilities → ApiMachine Bulk Tools.
2. Choose Cluster scope or Select servers, apply your filters, then check the intended website rows. Review the selection rules; filtering alone does not select websites.
3. Open Choose action → Nginx → Enable FastCGI cache or Disable FastCGI cache.

Choose whether to enable or disable FastCGI caching for the selected Nginx websites. Select the image to enlarge it; use your browser's Back command to return.

4. Review the selected websites and Confirm and run. Read Finished or Needs attention and the per-target output.

Choose applicable Nginx websites and keep the cache mode aligned with your application. For dynamic carts or dashboards, use cache exclusions where suitable.

Verify website responses and the resulting cache behavior on successful targets.

From the terminal

Use root on the main control panel server. Generate and edit the CLI site list first so that /var/log/cpfenceav/cluster-sites-list.txt contains only your intended targets.

Action	Command
Enable FastCGI cache	cpfence --bulk-enable-nginx-cache
Disable FastCGI cache	cpfence --bulk-disable-nginx-cache

Run the command for your intended choice and confirm its target list.

For failures, read each target’s error and check its actual state before retrying. Keep the retry selection limited to the intended websites.
