W3 Total Cache error:It appears Minify URL rewriting is not working

  • After upgrading to the latest W3 Total Cache version, I get the following error:

    W3 Total Cache error: It appears Page Cache URL rewriting is not working. Please verify that the server configuration allows .htaccess
    Unfortunately disk enhanced page caching will not function without custom rewrite rules. Please ask your server administrator for assistance. Also refer to the install page for the rules for your server.

    I have googled and found that other people have had these problems too (years ago, but also recently). I could not find a solution that worked for me though.

    Is this a bug that will be fixed in a newer version? Or do I have to change some settings?

    W3 Total Cache Version: 0.9.4.1

    Also, on a WooCommerce product page with variations, after upgrading I suddenly saw weird comments like “/*]]>*/”.

    This was resolved by disabling Minify -> HTML minify settings -> Inline JS minification. I am not sure if the problems are related.

  • I had the same problem with the Page Cache URL and solved it by going under Performance > Install and using the suggested Nginx .conf file (I guess if you install under Apache w3tc will suggest what to put in your .htaccess) Also I had to make sure w3tc had permissions to access my config file by chown-ing it to www-data:www-data

    w3tc does not give the error anymore and I can use Disk Enhanced, although all my pages except homepage and admin are giving 404s when Disk Enhanced is enabled…
