Hi,
I tried following the fastcgi-cache-with-purging tute but after making the changes to the config, the “ee stack [COMMANDS]” fail to function.
I get the following error(s):
Executing service nginx restart, please wait... Unable to execute service nginx restart, exit status = 1
…and if I reboot the server, the site no longer functions:
This webpage is not available
If I revert the “/etc/nginx/sites-available/walkingfish.us” file back to the original state, the site is still unavailable after a reboot 
and if I run a “ee stack [COMMAND]”:
Executing service nginx start, please wait... Executing service php5-fpm start, please wait... Unable to execute service php5-fpm start, exit status = 1
I have been around this several times and with no luck - The only way I can get things back to normal is to reload the server with a ‘snapshot’ from before the config change.
The System is a DigitalOcean Droplet on Ubuntu 64x using your stack configured with “ee site create walkingfish.us --wpsubdom --wpfc”.
The only other add-on to the server at this point is Fail2ban.
Below is the /etc/nginx/sites-available/walkingfish.us I tried using:
# WPSUBDOMAIN FAST CGI NGINX CONFIGURATION
fastcgi_cache_path /var/run/nginx-cache levels=1:2 keys_zone=WORDPRESS:500m inactive=60m;
fastcgi_cache_key "$scheme$request_method$host$request_uri";

}
# Don't use the cache for logged in users or recent commenters
if ($http_cookie ~* "comment_author|wordpress_[a-f0-9]+|wp-postpass|wordpress_no_cache|wordpress_logged_in") {

}

}

}

}

}
location = /robots.txt { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
location ~ /. { deny all; access_log off; log_not_found off; }
}Any help to what I may have wrong to get this functioning on my server will be appreciated.
Thnx,
Jason
