Hi!

As Ubuntu is based on Debian, they are largely the same on some levels. All the configurations described in that article should work just as well on an Ubuntu as a Debian one.

Let us know how it goes!

It seems that everything worked!

Except Worker Processes and Worker Connections I put all on http block (buffer, timeout, Static File Caching, gzip, and logging settings).

But in the end restarting nginx fail.

I have a problem in this point with the Static File Caching:

location ~* .(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|ico|css|js)$ {
expires 365d;
}

If i put in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf “http” block fail,

Where should be placed?

Thanks

The tutorial says: This directive can be added to the actual Nginx server block.

Actual server block in my case it can be: sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/wordpress ?

Thanks again

I think In this part of tutorial the “ ; ” is missing to close access_log off and the ngnix.conf fail

Logging
Nginx logs every request that hits the VPS to a log file. If you use analytics to monitor this, you may want to turn this functionality off. Simply edit the access_log directive:

access_log off
