# Cannot Enable Minify

 * On my site [WP Codebase](http://wpcodebase.com), i’m trying to enable Minify,
   and cannot. I’ve gotten every other part working including the CDN. When I go
   to enable minify it comes up with this:
 * > It appears Minify URL rewriting is not working. If using apache, verify that
   > the server configuration allows .htaccess. Or if using nginx verify all configuration
   > files are included in the main configuration fail (and that you have reloaded/
   > restarted nginx).
 * I have my own VPS set up with this, and I have NGINX & PHP5-FPM installed. One
   thing I noticed is that the default permalink structure for this WP install has/
   index.php before it, but if I remove index.php it works fine (look at a post’s
   url).
 * I appreciate everyone’s help.
