Question
How do I configure comporession with a ghost droplet
- Posted December 14, 2013
Am I right in saying that, insetad of using htaccess, i should configure: etc/nginx/nginx.conf file in order to enable compression (gzip or deflate) and other such tweaks that I ma used to doing with htaccess.
I am using a droplet pre-configured with the one click ghost blog installation.
Many thanks.

Yes, that is correct. Nginx does not have the concept of .htaccess files as it degrades performance (see <a href=“http://wiki.nginx.org/LikeApache-htaccess”>http://wiki.nginx.org/LikeApache-htaccess</a>). <br> <br>To enable gzip, add this to <code>/etc/nginx/nginx.conf</code>, right after <code>http {</code>: <br><pre> gzip on; <br> gzip_disable “msie6”; <br> gzip_min_length 1400; <br> gzip_types text/plain text/css text/javascript text/xml application/x-javascript application/xml application/xml+rss; <br> </pre> <br> <br>Restart nginx: <pre>sudo service nginx restart</pre>
