Hi guys,
So like title says I made changes to .css but it does not take effect when I visit site when refresh page so doe nginx serve cache, I could not find how to clear cache of nginx ?
Hi @Vido
Take a look to this post:
Hey @sahsanu
Ok awsome but I need help since my setup is different. I’m using Nginx+Apache, the templates for my Nginx is here /usr/local/hestia/data/templates/web/nginx/ right ? But I’m getting a warning to not modify @hcp:/usr/local/hestia/data/templates/web/nginx$ cat default.tpl
and her is it

If you are using Nginx+Apache you should use the template located in the /usr/local/hestia/data/templates/web/nginx/ directory.
cd /usr/local/hestia/data/templates/web/nginx/
cp default.tpl newtemplate.tpl
cp default.stpl newtemplate.stpl
Do the needed changes to newtemplate.tpl and newtemplate.stpl and once done, edit your web domain to use the newtemplate.
@sahsanu my /usr/local/hestia/data/templates/web/nginx/default.tpl does not match yours

Should I edit
location ~ /\.(?!well-known\/|file) {
deny all;
return 404;
}
?
I don’t use Apache but you could use something like this:
Note 1: In these examples we are removing caching, only for these extensions; htm, html, css, js (you can modify them to suit your needs).
Note 2: The extensions added, in this example; htm, html, css, js MUST be removed from the Proxy Extensions field:
