Rewrites on nginx always 403 Forbidden

  • In Rewrite mode, I copied the code to my appropriate nginx configuration file, ‘nginx -t’ confirmed it was ok. I then reloaded the nginx configuration and eventually restarted the server.

    Everything seems to work except for rewrites, they just return 403 errors.

    I’d really like to get this working, at first test it seems like the fastest caching plugin I’ve tried.

    When I look at the error.log, I see:

    2015/09/10 20:31:25 [error] 19178#0: *3736 directory index of “/var/www/mydomain.com/html/sitemap/” is forbidden, client
    : 1.11.111.222, server: mydomain.com, request: “GET /sitemap/ HTTP/1.1”, host: “mydomain.com”

    I think that the problem is for redirects, not rewrites.

    I realized that in Direct Mode, a directory was being created for each of the redirects (for example here: /sitemap/). And even though I purged All the cache when switching to Rewrite Mode, that directory wasn’t purged, leading to the error since the server had no index permissions for it.

    Once I deleted the directory, the redirect now works.

    So the problem is ultimately that when you switch modes, the cache isn’t purged properly.
