I come today with a problem of browser caching static files.
I have a Prestashop Website on a Plesk server running with Apache and Nginx.
Prestashop generates a .htaccess file with apache rewrite url rules :
RewriteRule ^([0-9])(\-[_a-zA-Z0-9-]*)?(-[0-9]+)?/.+\.jpg$ %{ENV:REWRITEBASE}img/p/$1/$1$2$3.jpg [L]
RewriteRule ^([0-9])([0-9])(\-[_a-zA-Z0-9-]*)?(-[0-9]+)?/.+\.jpg$ %{ENV:REWRITEBASE}img/p/$1/$2/$1$2$3$4.jpg [L]
RewriteRule ^([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])(\-[_a-zA-Z0-9-]*)?(-[0-9]+)?/.+\.jpg$ %{ENV:REWRITEBASE}img/p/$1/$2/$3/$1$2$3$4$5.jpg [L]
RewriteRule ^([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])(\-[_a-zA-Z0-9-]*)?(-[0-9]+)?/.+\.jpg$ %{ENV:REWRITEBASE}img/p/$1/$2/$3/$4/$1$2$3$4$5$6.jpg [L]
RewriteRule ^([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])(\-[_a-zA-Z0-9-]*)?(-[0-9]+)?/.+\.jpg$ %{ENV:REWRITEBASE}img/p/$1/$2/$3/$4/$5/$1$2$3$4$5$6$7.jpg [L]
RewriteRule ^([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])(\-[_a-zA-Z0-9-]*)?(-[0-9]+)?/.+\.jpg$ %{ENV:REWRITEBASE}img/p/$1/$2/$3/$4/$5/$6/$1$2$3$4$5$6$7$8.jpg [L]
RewriteRule ^([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])(\-[_a-zA-Z0-9-]*)?(-[0-9]+)?/.+\.jpg$ %{ENV:REWRITEBASE}img/p/$1/$2/$3/$4/$5/$6/$7/$1$2$3$4$5$6$7$8$9.jpg [L]
RewriteRule ^([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])(\-[_a-zA-Z0-9-]*)?(-[0-9]+)?/.+\.jpg$ %{ENV:REWRITEBASE}img/p/$1/$2/$3/$4/$5/$6/$7/$8/$1$2$3$4$5$6$7$8$9$10.jpg [L]
And Nginx was set up to add expires-header to static files :
location ~* \.(js|css|png|jpg|jpeg|gif|ico)$ {
expires 30d;
add_header Pragma public;
add_header Cache-Control "public";
try_files $uri @fallback;
}
This will works for static files that their urls were not rewrote by Apache :
url example : http://www.domain.tld/modules/homeslider/images/image_name.jpg
Server: nginx Date: Sun, 20 Nov 2016 19:32:33 GMT Content-Type: image/jpeg Content-Length: 50616 Last-Modified: Thu, 17 Nov 2016 14:47:22 GMT Connection: keep-alive ETag: "582dc2fa-c5b8" Expires: Tue, 20 Dec 2016 19:32:33 GMT Cache-Control: max-age=2592000 Pragma: public Cache-Control: “public” Accept-Ranges: bytes
But Not for product's images that their urls were rewrote by the apache rules :
url example : http://www.domain.tld/156-home_default/image_name.jpg
Server: nginx Date: Sun, 20 Nov 2016 19:34:11 GMT Content-Type: image/jpeg Content-Length: 7587 Connection: keep-alive Last-Modified: Thu, 17 Nov 2016 21:14:27 GMT Accept-Ranges: bytes X-Powered-By: PleskLin
The question is : How to make the nginx expires-header apply to files urls rewrote by the Apache Rewrite rules ?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT
The server management is handle by Plesk 12.5.
nGinx is used to handle static files. I don't know much about its configuration.
In Plesk domain.tld -> Nginx configuration, I checked "Smart static files processing" and "Serve static files directly by Nginx". And in "Additional Nginx directives", I added the expires-header code. That's all modification I have done on this. It's as default plesk configuration.
RE-EDIT

I figured out how to solve this. Not a big mystery...
I did convert the rewrite rules from apache to nginx and ignore the .htaccess.
That did the trick.
The new "Additional nginx directives" :
# Deny all for hidden files/directory (.htaccess, .htpasswd, etc...)
location ~ /\. {
deny all;
access_log off;
log_not_found off;
}
