 * Hi,
 * I have my localhost site setup on nginx server and have created a virtual host
   for the same.
 * When I try to access : [http://wpclifford.localhost.com/wp-json/wp/v2/posts](http://wpclifford.localhost.com/wp-json/wp/v2/posts)
 * I get this message: The connection was reset
 * The wordpress writes the permalink settings in htaccess file. The nginx server
   does not uses htaccess file.
 * Kindly guide me how can I get the plugin working.
 * Thanks.
