Experiencing Issues with my Edge Server - Need Help
-
Hey everyone,
I hope you're all doing well. I'm encountering some problems with my edge server setup, and I could really use some advice or guidance to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. I've scoured the web for solutions, but I haven't found anything that quite fits my situation.
Here's what's going on:
Issue Description:
I recently set up an edge server to optimize content delivery for my website. It's running on a Linux system, and I've configured it to cache and serve static content like images, CSS, and JavaScript. The goal was to improve loading times for users, especially those in regions far from my main server.However, it seems that the edge server isn't performing as expected. I've noticed the following problems:
Inconsistent Loading Times: Users from different locations are experiencing varying loading times for the same content. Some report slower loading, which defeats the purpose of setting up the edge server in the first place.
Cache Invalidation: Changes to my website's static content aren't being reflected on the edge server promptly. Even after updating a CSS file or an image, the old version continues to load for some users.
Error Logs: When I check the error logs, I see occasional 502 Bad Gateway errors. These errors seem random, as they don't consistently occur for specific files or users.
Configuration Details:
- Edge server running on Ubuntu Server 20.04
- Nginx is used as the web server software.
- I've configured a simple caching mechanism with the proxy_cache directive in Nginx.
- My DNS records are pointing to the edge server's IP address.
- SSL/TLS is enabled for secure connections.t I've Tried So Far:
What I've Tried So Far:
- Cleared the cache on the edge server multiple times.
- Checked my Nginx configuration for errors, and everything seems fine.
- Verified that my DNS records are correctly pointing to the edge server.
- Rebooted the server to see if it would resolve the issues temporarily.
I'd appreciate any help or insights you can provide. Thank you in advance for your assistance!
Regards, Grace
