usually you would have something like this in your config: location / { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php }
which works pretty good (1.11.10) - however it seems, that if you are requesting a physical file it will work anyway und the try_files gets ignored - so the following will work just as well: location / { try_files /foobar /index.php } This means, I can not for example overwrite an existing physical file location with a config like this: location / { try_files /$host$uri /index.php } Since if $uri exists under the root/alias it will be served directly without triggering that try_files directive. Am I doing something wrong - or is this expected behaviour?
