此处不允许使用Nginx浏览器缓存

Question

I tried to insert browser expire dates for all static types in nginx. I copy this:

location ~*  \.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|ico|css|js)$ {
    expires 365d;
}

before "server_tokens off;" at my:

/etc/nginx/nginx.conf 

and get this error:

nginx: [emerg] "location" directive is not allowed here in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:54

Anyone could help me?

Ensure your location block is inside the server or location block.
