NGINX host file and local config issue

  • Hi,

    This is a fantastic plugin. I’ve never had any issues with it but I’ve recently started using nginx and I have two questions:

    1. in the plugin dashboard, under “wp-config.php Rules” it says I have set “define( ‘DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT’, true );” but when I got to wp-config.php on the server, this doesn’t show up. It’s also not in nginx.conf. Instead I had to manually add this to local-config.php for it to work. Is this expected behavior?

    2. NGINX doesn’t have a .htaccess file so I have to include the nginx.conf file created by the plugin in my virtual host configuration and restart the NGINX server when it changes. Can you provide a little more info on this?

    Thanks!

    To answer my question #2 in case it’s useful for other folks just getting started with NGINX

    – depending on your setup, you’ll want to navigate to /etc/nginx/sites-available
    – edit the file inside sites-available (should be your domain name)
    – add what’s in nginx.conf to this file
    – set nginx.conf to deny all so people can’t access the nginx.conf file that ithemes generates

    This seems to be working well for me. Would love to hear if this is the best way to go about this or not though.

    Thanks
