 * I keep getting these errors:
 * 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 configuration.
 * Content Delivery Network Error: The “Replace default hostname with” field must
   be populated.
 * I’ve tried everything! How can I fix this?

 * I am having the same problem. I am using Nginx, php-fpm, and APC. I have the 
   W3C Total Cache generated nginx.conf included into my nginx.conf file. The first
   problem I have is that the Minify rewrite for js and css doesn’t work. I have
   tried everything I could find on forums, but none of it works. I have had to 
   disable the option, and now I can’t upload my js or css files to my CDN.
 * Also, I don’t think the cache is working either. I can’t find any static files.
   It seems to load through a _index.php file which I assume means it is access 
   php to load the files instead of having nginx load them directly. In a load test
   my site now loads slower than if it wasn’t cached at all.
 * I noticed that most tutorials online never use the total cache generated nginx.
   conf file. Is this because it doesn’t work? Does anyone here use it or do you
   use custom settings? I noticed that the recommended settings on wiki.nginx.org
   also doesn’t include the generated rules. Any help would be great.
