    Latest version of w3 total cache. Enabling css and or js minify breaks my theme. When I view the source and click the .js or .css file I get a 404 page. Clear cache does not work. I navigated to my web directory /var/www/wordpress/wp-content/cache/minify/ and the directory is empty.

    The directory is group writable.

    APC nor disk cache work. I’ve tried various setting including combine only and different processors like tidy/default, etc.

    I kind of stole the /etc/nginx/sites-enabled from the apache way of doing things. You just create a symlink from /etc/nginx/sites-available or simply issue a “mv” command between the two to enable or disable sites. Good for maintenance and testing/swapping configs. I also host a few other domains so it helps keep things organized.

    Varnish wasn’t really put in place to reduce load. Nginx is already very low on cpu and memory. So, since I have all this extra memory laying around Varnish can keep all cached and static files directly in RAM which is great. So images, txt and other static files, html, gzip, etc are kept in RAM if someone has accessed them before. I have my own dedicated server so I can spin up VPS’s with decent amounts of memory. I’ve dedicated 512MB of RAM just for varnish caching, will add more if I start getting more traffic.

    It’s also nice because it can load balance between two back ends. I could put Vanrish on it’s on server and split my webs server into two app tiers and point varnish to both.

    Marking as resolved.

    For anyone else that might be having this issue, I just solved it for me (apache not nginx) and it was a file permission issue. See the answer from Kirk WSI (me) here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15605927/wordpress-and-the-w3-total-cache-minifier/22538291#22538291

    I’m working on a WordPress site locally using Varying Vagrant Varants (vvv). It comes with nginx. I found @sysfailure0x5a’s comments really useful, I just unchecked ‘Rewrite URL structure’ and the page not found errors went away (minified css/js files).

    It’s not a big deal for me as I am mirroring as best I can the live iteration of the website.

    Thanks!
