Varnish not starting errors in syntax

2 Views

I am scratching my head trying to figure out what is wrong with the syntax in my .vcl file. I keep getting the error: 

Symbol not found: 'req.method' (expected type BOOL):
('input' Line 13 Pos 9)
    if (req.method == "PURGE") {
--------##########--------------

Running VCC-compiler failed, exit 1

I am following along in this tutorial https://www.varnish-software.com/blog/step-step-speed-wordpress-varnish-software

Can anyone spot what I did wrong?
