Well it's not directly worded but you can (should) see from the example here http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#alias that it doesn't use the root (even with a notice that you can't use the $document_root variables): location /i/ { alias /data/w3/images/; } on request of “/i/top.gif”, the file /data/w3/images/top.gif will be sent. rr _______________________________________________ nginx mailing list nginx@nginx.org http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx
