Working with ROOT and ALIAS Directives
- In this case I am trying to host a static file server to serve my files in the file system.
- And I want this happen without affecting the current running webserver.
- For this I am commenting the root and index directives and providing 2 seperate location directives.
# root /var/www/html/lltest1;
# index index.html index.htm index.php;
- In the first location section I am specifying the directory root of the webserver.
location / {
root /var/www/html/lltest1/;
index index.html index.htm index.php;
}
- In the second location I am specifying my aliaas for hosting the file server.
location /rhel7/ {
alias /u01/yum/rhel7/;
index index.html index.htm index.php;
autoindex on;
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
