Nginx Location Directive Examples

location  = / {

  # this matches only the / query.

}

location  / {

  # matches any query due to the fact that all queries begin at /, 

  # however, regular expressions will be matched at first place.



}



location /data/ {

  # this config matches any query beginning with /data/ and then continues searching,

  # in this example regular expressions will be checked and /data/ will be matched only if

  # regular expressions don't find a match.



}

location ^~ /img/ {

  # matches any query beginning with /img/ and then stops searching,

  # in this example there is not place for regular expressions.



}



location ~* \.(png|ico|gif|jpg|jpeg)$ {

  # this config matches any request ending in png, ico, gif, jpg or jpeg.
