Nginx WordPress

Hi,

I’m here to do according to the optimized configuration nginx.conf - https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-optimize-nginx-configuration

Then when I try to execute “curl -X PURGE http://www.myname.com/index.php” I got this error message -curl: (52) Empty reply from server

This is what’s wrong? How can I fix this error?

Why are you sending a PURGE request?

This request is meant to clear the cache and is commonly used with Varnish and Nginx if it was compiled with the ngx_cache_purge module.

Yes, I want to manually clear the cache.

The article you’ve mentioned doesn’t say anything about purging the cache. What are you looking to purge?

The ngxcachepurge module is not included in the pre-compiled nginx included in most distributions as far as I know.
