Tutorial problem with NGINX...?

Some are taking from tutorials/documentations and some I have adapted myself. Like disabling logging of images, favicon etc.

Taken from that documentation "If Is Evil": There are cases where you simply cannot avoid using an if, for example, if you need to test a variable which has no equivalent directive.

PHP Code:

if ($request_method = POST ) {
  return 405;
} 


I'm not using DELETE, PUT, SEARCH etc so if someone sends that I just drop it.

Try if this one works for you, as it's their default recommendations. And later on add modifications.
