[Plugin: W3 Total Cache] Nginx URL Rewriting Warning

Thanks for the reply, can you clarify this inclusion process? W3TC put the rewrite rules in the web root.

Thanks again for the reply. I actually was on the right track earlier, I included the W3TC-created nginx.conf in my Nginx.conf file and disabled gzip in the main configuration:

user www-data;
worker_processes  1;

error_log  /var/log/nginx/error.log;
pid        /var/run/nginx.pid;

events {
    worker_connections  1024;
    # multi_accept on;
}

http {
    include       /etc/nginx/mime.types;

    access_log  /var/log/nginx/access.log;

    sendfile        on;
    #tcp_nopush     on;

    #keepalive_timeout  0;
    keepalive_timeout  65;
    tcp_nodelay        on;

    #gzip  on;
    #gzip_disable "MSIE [1-6]\.(?!.*SV1)";

    ## ADDED FILE HERE
    include /var/www/techerator.com/public_html/nginx.conf;

    include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
    include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;
}

But this gives the error:

Restarting nginx: [emerg]: "location" directive is not allowed here in /var/www/techerator.com/public_html/nginx.conf:2
configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed

From what I can tell, it’s breaking because it doesn’t like the syntax in the W3TC-created nginx.conf file. This file starts right away with the location block.

Any thoughts?

That worked without throwing any Nginx errors, but I’m still seeing the original warning message:

It appears URL rewriting is not working. If using apache, verify that the server configuration allows .htaccess or if using nginx verify all configuration files are included in the configuration.

Thanks for your continued help with this.
