As you can see, the example in begginners guide uses _different_ roots for locations configured, and hence it's very different from the example provided at Pitfalls wiki page. Using the "root" directive inside a location block isn't bad per se. It's bad if you repeat it needlessly instead of using single root inside a server{} block. -- Maxim Dounin http://nginx.org/en/donation.html _______________________________________________ nginx mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx
