lets say, I have an location /user/username/custom/custom.css I would like to server this location /user/(.*)/custom/ to the location /var/www/custom I don't know, how to write NginX rules.
I tried
location ~* /user/(.*)/custom/ {
alias /var/www/custom/;
}
but such rule doesn't work.
Any suggestions please? Thank you
Well mine was similar to this
location ~* /user/[^/]+/custom/(.*) {
alias /var/www/custom/$1;
}
Yours suffer from the issue that below will results in the same files
/user/username/abc/test/custom/test.css
/user/username/abc/custom/test.css
/user/username/custom/test.css
Mine will give 404 on first 2 and give you the proper file on last one
Ok, so finally I figured it out. The right solution (at least I hope so) is
location ~* /user/(.*)/custom/(.*) {
alias /var/www/custom/$2;
}
