CSS problem after nginx rewrite for clean URLs

[Nick Pearson]

Are you using a static CSS file, or is the CSS being generated with
PHP?  What do you see when you attempt to access the CSS file
directly?

Either way, it's better to use more specific locations:

location /post {
  rewrite ...;
}

location /css {
  # css-specific settings, like "expires 10y"
}

location /images {
  # image-specific settings
}
