Hello,

I'm using Apache 1.3.x along with gzip, url rewriting, php, mod expires and ssl.
I've started to work on my NGinx configuration with gzip modules according to the documentation and I think I'll be ok with that.

I would like to know how to replaces mod expires. I have now a .htaccess in each directory containing the configuration
ExpiresActive on
ExpiresDefault A60
ExpiresByType image/gif A2592000
ExpiresByType image/jpeg A2592000

Could you confirm that I have to use the module HttpHeadersMoreModule ?

Also, it seems that the configuration for this behavior is very centralised into the nginx.conf file. What do you suggest to have a different "expires" depending on the directory. With Apache it's easy, you place the .htaccess within the directory.

Thank you

Hello,

Perhaps, late answer but I am trying to help anyway.

nginx does not support .htaccess files per directory, so you must configure expire on the server level, instead:

server {

...

location ~ \.gif$ {
expires 1M;
}

location ~ \.html?$ {
expires 1w;
}

...

}
