Hello!

I am using nginx 1.8.0 on Cent OS 7, tried to enable purger directive,  
mentioned on  
[http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx\_http\_proxy\_module.html#proxy\_cache\_path](http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_proxy_module.html#proxy_cache_path)

But got error like this :  
nginx[46931]: nginx: [emerg] invalid parameter “purge=on” in  
/etc/nginx/conf.d/proxy.conf:5

My complete directive are like this :  
proxy\_cache\_path /var/cache/nginx/proxy\_cache levels=1:2  
keys\_zone=mycache:10m inactive=60m use\_temp\_path=on purger=on  
purger\_files=100 max\_size=20g;  
proxy\_temp\_path /var/cache/nginx/proxy\_temp 1 2;  
proxy\_cache\_key “$scheme$proxy\_host$uri$is\_args$args”;

Any hints ?
