'm trying to setup a new server with nginx instead of LAMP using php-fpm. I've got wordpress setup and running, but I'm at a loss to figure out how to get Wordpress Super Cache working. I'd appreciate any help. I'm also trying to figure out how to get rid of the if statements in the wordpress Multisite configuration file. I do know about the ifisevil page.

I'd taken my initial configuration from: http://codex.wordpress.org/Nginx


My Sites-available file
---
# Redirect everything to the main site.
server {
listen 80 default;
server_name *.students.scisdragons.net;
rewrite ^ http://students.scisdragons.net$request_uri permanent;
}

server {
server_name students.scisdragons.net;
root /var/www/students.scisdragons.net;

include global/restrictions.conf;
include global/wordpress-ms-subdir.conf;
}
