Enabling Minify, missing Install instructions for nginx

[dingman]

After I enable Minify, and enable URL Rewrite, I get a 404 when viewing the generated CSS/JS files.

Upon going to Install, I do not see any Nginx install instructions.

I've spent much time researching, but no resolution yet.

Please advise and see if this can be updated within the plugin for Nginx adminsitrators.

While the instructions do seem to be missing, I did find correct syntax that was successful.

I was facing the same issue and I've fixed it by changing my Nginx configuration. I think I can help you if you post your Nginx configuration here?

The config file that you sent above is not ideal for W3TC. Because W3TC is generating a configuration called "nginx.conf" in the web document folder and it's changing dynamically and depends on your own settings.

All you need is to include the "nginx.conf" in your Nginx virtual host. include /var/www/vhosts/yoursite.com/nginx.conf;

Also, I recommend you restrict public access to that file:

location = /nginx.conf {
deny all;
}

If you use WP multisite (sub-directory), you also need to add below snippet:

    if (!-e $request_filename) {
        rewrite ^/(blog1|blog2)/(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) /$2;
        rewrite ^/(blog1|blog2)/(.*.php)$ /$2;
    }

NOTE that please, do NOT forget to edit blog1|blog2 fields according to your subsites.
