I've been trying to fix this for a while, but I haven't been able to find a solution.
Some notes about my setup:
- I am not using VirtualBox
- I am running Nginx 1.4.6 Ubuntu
The CSS's cache will not clear even when using the "expires: off;" flag in my site configuration. Here's my site config:
server {
# Replace this port with the right one for your requirements
listen 80; #could also be 1.2.3.4:80
# Multiple hostnames separated by spaces. Replace these as well.
server_name www.example.com; # Alternately: _
root /var/www/;
error_page 404 /404.html;
location = /404.html {
root /etc/nginx/errors;
}
#access_log logs/star.example.com.access.log;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
location ~* \.(jpg|jpeg|gif|css|png|js|ico|html)$ {
access_log off;
expires off;
}
location / {
root /var/www;
try_files $uri $uri/ @extensionless-php;
index index.php index.html;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
# By all means use a different server for the fcgi processes if you need to
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
}
location ~ /\.ht {
deny all;
}
location @extensionless-php {
rewrite ^(.*)$ $1.php last;
}
}
My nginx.conf is as follows:
user www-data;
worker_processes 4;
pid /run/nginx.pid;
events {
worker_connections 768;
# multi_accept on;
}
http {
##
# Basic Settings

client_max_body_size 150m;

# server_tokens off;
# server_names_hash_bucket_size 64;
# server_name_in_redirect off;
include /etc/nginx/mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;

Thank you :)
I don't think
expires off
is what you really want here. That just disables sending theCache-Control
andExpires
headers entirely, and you get browser-default behavior (which is usually RFC compliant, resulting in the resource being cached).If you mean to have the resource not cached at all by user agents, use
expires epoch
instead.
